DK is one of the most versatile yarn weights. There are so many projects out there waiting to leap onto your needles.
Devonia DK from John Arbon Textiles is a beautiful British wool yarn, with a blend of Exmoor Blueface, Bluefaced Leicester and Romney, meaning it is soft enough to sit next to skin but sturdy enough for everyday use with minimal pilling.
Here’s our guide to some of the fantastic patterns you can make with Devonia DK.
Mosspath by Jonna Helin
From the designer:
Mosspath is worked seamlessly from the top down, featuring a contemporary European shoulder construction and a shallow V-neckline. The button band is finished with a neat double-knitting technique, giving the garment a clean, polished edge that holds its shape beautifully.

Cloudberry bandana by Purl Soho
From the designer:
Far to the north, where cloudberries glow against the tundra like tiny embers, their jewel-like hues feel like gifts in themselves. And no matter the latitude, a cozy burst of color around your neck brings that same quiet joy!

Peninsular by Ailbíona McLochlainn
From the designer:
Escape into maritime flight of fancy with this elegant cabled garment. This pattern started out as a vest, but has now been expended with instructions for adding sleeves - enabling you to knit a Peninsular Vest, or a Peninsular Pullover, as preferred.

Terra cardigan by Joanna Filip
From the designer:
The cardigan is knitted in a dedicated stitch pattern from the top down, seamlessly. The back is worked first, followed by the shoulders. Once the back and fronts are joined, they are knitted together flat and finished with a 1x1 rib hem. The sleeves are then worked in the round. Next, stitches are picked up along the front edges to create plackets, which are worked in 1x1 rib, and then, the stitches are picked up along the neckline to make the neckband, also in a 1x1 rib. Finally, toggle buttons are sewn on after the cardigan is finished.
