The three garment-and-cone images below are AI-generated project inspiration based on our yarn photographs, not photographs of finished knitted samples. Patterns for these imagined garments are not supplied.
01 / The everyday autumn cardigan
A warm beige knit is an easy starting point for an autumn wardrobe. Picture a relaxed V-neck cardigan with understated tonal buttons and neat ribbing, styled with tailored trousers for an effortless everyday layer.
The yarn: MERINO YARN (SKU: HN88), 50% merino and 50% acrylic, with 350 m per 100 g. A versatile blend to explore for everyday layering.
02 / An airy mohair-and-silk layer
Soft olive tones and a delicate halo bring a quieter kind of autumn colour. Imagine a slightly cropped cardigan with softly gathered sleeves, a rounded neckline and a light, airy fabric that lets the yarn take centre stage.
The yarn: Sesia Super Kid Mohair & Mulberry Silk (SKU: BU140), 70% super kid mohair and 30% Mulberry silk, with 850 m per 100 g. Explore it on its own for an airy fabric or swatch it alongside a companion yarn.
03 / A textured knit in woodland tones
Deep woodland green with fine flecks of colour gives simple stitches their own character. Picture a relaxed crew-neck sweater with dropped shoulders and clean ribbed edges, paired with ecru trousers to let the rich green stand out.
The yarn: MIX YARN | MULTI (SKU: GU34), a blend of 32% merino, 12% viscose, 21% polyamide and 35% acrylic, with 360 m per 100 g.
04 / Make the Mohair + Lurex cable-knit sweater
For autumn evenings and a little understated shimmer, explore our dedicated cable-knit sweater project. The YOU & ME BOX | MOHAIR + LUREX pairs mohair with lurex to knit together, bringing a soft halo and a luminous finish to your stitches.
The project page brings together the yarn pairing, size guidance and links to add a box with the knitting pattern. Check the current colour options and product details before choosing your pair.

Start with a swatch. Make it your own.
The cardigan, airy layer and woodland knit above are project ideas, not supplied patterns or tested knitted samples. The visualisations suggest styling and colour, rather than guaranteeing a particular finished fabric. Choose a pattern suited to your yarn and desired fabric, then wash and dry your swatch before checking gauge and calculating the amount you need. For the cable-knit sweater, follow the guidance on its dedicated project page.
Whether you are planning a small accessory or a favourite new layer, let the texture lead the way.
