Nettles

Nettles is a beautifully earthy blend of soft sage, fresh moss green and muted olive, layered with gentle tonal shifts that echo the colours of wild hedgerows. Inspired by sunlit woodland walks and the quiet beauty of nature, this calming hand-dyed colourway has an organic elegance that feels both fresh and timeless, making it perfect for socks, shawls, garments and accessories.

Inspired by the British Countryside

Inspired by winding woodland paths and lush summer hedgerows, Nettles celebrates the understated beauty of nature. Soft sage, moss and olive greens flow seamlessly together, creating a colourway that feels peaceful, grounding and effortlessly elegant.

The result is a beautifully balanced palette with gentle movement and depth, bringing the calming colours of the countryside to every stitch.

Perfect for Knitting and Crochet

Nettles shines in projects where its subtle tonal variation can take centre stage. The harmonious blend of greens creates beautiful stitch definition while remaining versatile enough for both simple and intricate patterns.

This colourway is particularly well suited to:

  • Socks
  • Shawls and wraps
  • Sweaters and cardigans
  • Lightweight garments
  • Hats and accessories
  • Crochet projects

Hand-Dyed with Character

Every skein of Nettles is individually hand-dyed in Suffolk, meaning no two skeins will ever be completely identical. These subtle variations are part of the beauty of hand-dyed yarn and help create finished projects with movement, depth and individuality.

For larger projects such as sweaters and shawls, we recommend purchasing all the yarn required at the same time to ensure the closest possible colour match.

Whether you're knitting a cosy sweater, a lightweight shawl or your next favourite pair of socks, Nettles brings the quiet beauty of the countryside to every stitch.
