Patons Sierra 8 ply 150g

The Patons Sierra 8ply range is a vibrant, trans-seasonal yarn that blends 80% acrylic and 20% wool, offering the softness of wool with the durability and easy care of acrylic. Each 150g donut ball gives you a generous 375 metres, making it ideal for garments, accessories, and larger projects without constant joining.

What really sets Sierra apart is its mesmerising self-striping colourways, inspired by natural landscapes. Some standout shades include:

• Glacier Lake – cool blues and greys
• Desert Bloom – warm pinks and ochres
• Aurora – rich purples and teals
• Canyon Glow – earthy reds and golds
• Sundown – dusky mauves and soft neutrals

It knits beautifully on 4mm needles with a standard tension of 22 stitches x 30 rows over 10cm, and it’s suitable for both hand wash and gentle machine wash.

If you’re thinking of pairing it with a pattern like Head to Toe Knits or something textured like cables or garter stitch, Sierra’s colour transitions can really elevate the look.
