Onion No.4 Organic Wool+Nettles
An exciting natural yarn made from a blend of organic wool and nettle fibres, giving the yarn a distinctive appearance and excellent durability. The nettle fibres provide a beautiful pearlescent sheen and a lightly melanged effect, as the fibres do not absorb dye. The yarn is light, comfortable and produces a very attractive stitch definition.
Use
Suitable for both garments and accessories such as sweaters, hats and scarves. The yarn is especially well suited for socks and stockings where the nettle fibres contribute additional durability.
Product benefits
- Organic wool: Soft and natural fibre with excellent warmth and breathability.
- Nettle fibres: Provide increased durability and create a beautiful melanged effect in the yarn.
- Beautiful stitch definition: The structure of the yarn produces an even and elegant knitted result.
Tips for use
Use the yarn for socks where the nettle fibres provide additional durability for everyday wear. The yarn is also very suitable for textured knitting and simple patterns where the attractive stitch definition can really stand out.
Why choose this yarn?

This is a wonderful yarn for baby knitting projects, soft and beautifully smooth. I used it double stranded to make a lovely cardigan (Baby Sophisticate by Linden Down) and the end result was excellent. An added bonus is that it's composed of 100% natural fibres with no acrylic in the mix! It can be washed at cool temperatures (30 degrees) to good affect. I also enjoyed knitting socks using the onion sock yarns! Great range of colours too!
I am in love with this yarn. The feel is lovely in the hand. And the drape of finished garment is stunning. I just finished a scarf and it’s so nice to the touch. Softer than you would think.
