We can't quite believe it, but next week marks five years since we launched our first yarn, Titus. We launched it to mark Yorkshire Day on 1st August, and here we are five years on preparing to celebrate its success.

So how do we celebrate five years of Titus and everything it has meant to us? Like this...Next week, we have a whole host of special offers lined up for you. There will be a new offer every day, so no matter what project you fancy taking on next, you can grab a bargain with baa ram ewe.

The real party day is next Thursday, 3rd August, when we'll be holding a Titus special anniversary knit night, showcasing what many of you have knitted to celebrate, and modelling them to everyone else! We'll post the link to get your tickets on our social media accounts soon. 

The event is absolutely free, but places are limited so you'll need to book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. 
Too far away to come along to our Titus special anniversary knit night? Fear not! There'll be online offers every day too, and you can share your love for Titus across social media - either a photo, a comment, or both. Just use the hashtag #happybirthdayTitus and we'll see it! We'd love to see your Titus creations this way - or, if you're near our Leeds shop, please do drop them in so we can display them as part of our celebrations. 

Our first ever skeins of Titus looked like this. Today, we have a wide range of shades, but Titus remains the same blend of gorgeously soft Wensleydale, snuggly Bluefaced Leicester, and magical UK Alpaca. Each shade is inspired by and named after an aspect of the life and history of Yorkshire.

Titus has also enabled us to collaborate, including with the Knitting Goddess, who created the beautifulTitus Goddess shades - and we'll be introducing more of these soon, too.

Finally, if all this talk of Titus has made you crave your own bundle of woolly joy, click here to browse the shades and buy, and click here for patterns designed to be made with Titus. Click here to see the Titus Vintage Collection or why not try Toasty (all designed for Titus) by the talented Coop Knits, aka Rachel Coopey? Click here for Toasty Volume 1 and click here for Toasty Volume 2. Enjoy!

You can still join in our Titus 5th birthday make-along too, or just browse some of the fabulous things people have been creating for the last few months. We originally suggested using five shades of Titus to create the stunning Hundred Acre Wood shawl (above) by Helen Stewart - or any other shawl, scarf or shrug you fancied. Well, you've done us proud! We'll see many of the creations at next week's event, and we'll be posting pictures from the night on our social media accounts, too. For now, pop over to the Ravelry groupfor a sneaky peek - and if you feel inspired, join in. Just click here for the Hundred Acre Wood pattern (or use any other pattern you've got your eye on) and click here to buy your Titus. Don't forget to post photos of your completed work!		Last week, we offered you a free copy of Learn to Knit at Home when you bought 9 balls of Dovestone Natural Chunky. Thanks to pesky gremlins in our website, the discount code wasn't working properly - we're really sorry if you tried to take advantage of the offer and couldn't get it to work. It was us, not you! To make it up to you, we've extended the offer for another week. Hooray! All you have to do is put 9 balls of Dovestone Natural Chunky in your basket, along with the Learn to Knit at Home book, and enter code CLEMSWEATER at the checkout. The offer closes at 8.30am on Thursday 3rd August. Don't forget it's free delivery on orders over £50, or you can collect in store if that's easier.
