Lascaux Fine is a delightful blend of heritage and modern sheep fibre spun into a 2-ply fingering weight yarn which is perfect for stranded colourwork projects.
The heritage breed sheep is Manx Loaghtan, found only on the Isle of Mann, and the modern breed is the Punta Arenas from South America. The natural colour of this yarn is a light brown, so it has a heathered undertone when it is dyed, and although it looks rustic, it actually knits up exceptionally soft!
Fibre: 25% Manx Loaghtan, 75% Punta Arenas Wool
Weight: Worsted - 4
Yardage: 220 yards per 100 gram skein

Due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn, skeins can differ slightly both between and within dye lots. Alternating skeins is recommended.
While we do my best to both capture and portray accurate colourways, please note that there may be differences due to monitors.
Despite fully exhausting, washing and rinsing all skeins, to remove excess dye, some bleeding may still occur. Hand washing yarn is recommended - in cold water to limit the bleeding - and lay flat to dry.
An environmentally conscious yarn where the fibres that would of been wasted during the carding process are now reclaimed and made into a high twist, luxury yarn. The mohair adds a gentle halo, while the nylon and silk give it strength. This yarn base dyes up with stunning results and is a great choice for a large variety of projects thanks to its generous yardage.

Nettle Soft is a unique and eco-friendly blend of Fine Merino and nettle fibre, which results in a yarn that will give your garments beautiful drape, lustre, and stitch definition. Nettle is a very eco-conscious and sustainable plant fibre that comes from the Common Stinging Nettle plant family. It consists of long white fibres that are found deep inside the stem, and they are extracted from the nettle plant in the same way that linen is extracted from the flax plant. However, unlike flax or cotton, nettle does not require the use of herbicides or pesticides, and it requires much less water to grow and is a perennial. Nettle is also anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral, plus it adds strength to a yarn and helps preserve the shaping of garments.
