Designed by Carol Feller, Nua is a beautifully soft yarn with a palette of colors inspired by the landscape of Ireland. A unique blend of Merino Wool, Yak, and Linen creates a remarkable heathered effect. Light enough to do fine colorwork and create lighter sweaters, but still works up quickly enough that big projects don’t take too long.
Merino provides a soft, squishy, and versatile base. Yak adds a unique silkiness to the yarn that your fingers will simply love. Finally, linen, adds strength and durability.
Nua is non-superwash, which creates a loftier yarn with a bit more bounce, making blocking easier and helping projects (especially garments) to hold their shape nicely.
