Nua from Carol Feller is a unique blend of merino wool, yak and linen. This sport weight yarn knits up in a subtle tweed effect, creating a soft and beautifully textured fabric. "Nua is a blend of merino, yak, and linen. Each of these fibres contributes something special to create an amazing yarn blend. Merino provides a soft, squishy, and versatile base. Yak adds a unique silkiness to the yarn that knitter fingers will simply love. Finally, linen, a fibre with a deep history in Irish culture, adds strength and durability. Nua is non-superwash, which creates a lighter yarn with a bit more bounce, making blocking easier and helping projects (especially garments) to hold their shape nicely." - Carol Feller   Needle Size: 3.5mm, US 4 Fibre Content: 60% Merino, 20% Yak, 20% Linen Weight: 50 grams Length: 140 metres Tension: 24sts to 10cm, using recommended needles.
