Little Nettle Soft and Nettle Soft DK - Video Review

Alison Korleski from Interweave Knits gives an introduction and review of our Little Nettle Soft and Nettle Soft DK Yarns. These yarns are a special mix of cruelty-free superwash merino wool and nettle fibre, which is derived from the core of the Himalayan Stinging Nettle plant. Not only is nettle eco-friendly and sustainable, but it also adds a lovely silky shine to the yarn. It enhances its luster, drape, and breathability, making this blend ideal for regulating temperature.

Lascaux Fine, DK & Worsted - Video Review

Alison Korleski from Interweave introduces and reviews our Lascaux Fine, DK, and Worsted yarns. These yarns are non superwash and are spun with a special blend of 25% Manx Loaghtan wool (a rare heritage breed) and 75% Punta Arenas wool. This combination brings together the best qualities of both Old World and New World sheep, giving the finished yarn and your projects unique character and special features. The Manx Loaghtan wool is crisp and bouncy, adding loft, texture, warmth, and heathering to this yarn. On the other hand, Punta Arenas wool is a white wooled sheep from South America that dyes beautifully. It contributes luster, strength, drape, and rich color to the mix.  Available in fingering, DK and worsted weights.

Herlig DK - Video Review

Andrea Lotz from Interweave Knits offers an introduction and review of our delightful Herlig DK yarn. This non-superwash yarn is crafted from a mix of 50% Viking Norway Wool, sourced from Norwegian sheep - a heritage breed that has been carefully bred since the days of the Vikings to produce warm, durable, and cozy wool. The remaining 50% is cruelty-free Merino wool from New Zealand. The resulting blend has a touch of rustic charm while still being soft enough to wear against your skin. "Herlig" means lovely in Norwegian, which perfectly captures the joy of knitting with Herlig DK and reflects the values behind this exceptional yarn.
