The classic fiber for warmth, elasticity, and durability. From everyday worsted to luxury merino.
Wool has been the fiber of choice for knitters for centuries, and for good reason. Its natural elasticity makes knitting a pleasure, and the finished fabric has memory that helps garments keep their shape. Wool is naturally temperature-regulating, warm when it's cold and breathable when it's warm.
The gold standard for softness. Merino sheep produce fine fibers that feel luxurious against skin. Look for merino for garments worn close to the body like sweaters and scarves.
Treated to prevent felting, superwash wool can be machine washed. Perfect for baby items, gifts, and anything that needs easy care. Slightly less elastic than regular wool.
Rustic and hard-wearing, these wools are excellent for outerwear, colorwork, and traditional patterns. Often less processed for an authentic look and feel.
Wool blended with nylon (for durability), silk (for sheen), or acrylic (for affordability) combines the best properties of multiple fibers.
