Orry Yarn – Merino DK
Orry Yarn Merino DK is our first ever yarn - a 100% merino wool base designed with purpose, precision, and a deep sense of place. After seven years of building The Orry Mill community in Glasgow, teaching hundreds of knitters, designing patterns, and shaping a modern approach to Scottish craft, we’re proud to introduce a yarn that carries everything we believe in.
Rooted in Scotland’s landscapes, light, and weather, our debut palette features 16 contemporary tones shaped by the west‑coast sky: granite washed by rain, deep fern greens, soft heathers, and muted coastal golds. Not nostalgic. Not twee. Just the real colours of here - translated into a modern, confident Scottish voice.
Merino DK has a smooth texture and crisp stitch definition that supports clean, wearable design. It is especially well‑suited to textured knitting — stitches like cables, ribs, moss stitch and simple textures stand out with clarity and structure, making patterns feel modern and intentional. Whether you’re a beginner choosing your first project, an improver building skills, or a designer looking for clarity and precision, this yarn is made to elevate your making. It’s warm, soft without being precious, and bold enough to hold its own in colourwork, texture, and everyday garments.
Orry Yarn is modern craft with Scottish soul - contemporary, confident, and made with heart.
