Nettles - Silky 4-ply Yarn

About the colourway: 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. Perfect for socks, shawls, garments and accessories, Nettles brings a subtle touch of the countryside to every stitch.

About the yarn base: Our Silky 4 Ply yarn is a beautifully refined blend of 75% ultrafine superwash merino and 25% mulberry silk, combining softness, strength and elegant drape. Smooth and lightweight with a subtle sheen, this fingering weight yarn creates fabric with excellent stitch definition and a luxurious finish.

The addition of silk enhances the yarn’s strength while adding a gentle lustre, allowing stitches to hold their shape beautifully, even in more open or lacey projects. The worsted-spun construction from long staple fibres ensures clean, defined stitches, making this yarn a joy to work with.

Whether you're knitting socks, shawls or lightweight garments, Silky 4 Ply offers the perfect balance of softness, durability and drape, making it ideal for both everyday and special projects.
