Description
SNEFNUG is a super soft, light, airy and full-bodied yarn which exclusively consists of natural materials in an extra delicate blend of 55% baby alpaca, 10% extra fine merino wool and 35% organic cotton. This yarn is produced by an Italian family-owned spinning mill with consideration for both environment and animal welfare, thus the merino wool used, is of course mulesing free, and comes from South America. The baby alpaca is from Peru, and the cotton is from Egypt.
Snefnug is composed by a cotton tube, as the core, in which a fine and neat blend of merino wool and baby alpaca is blown into. Altogether, this gives a strong and at the same time, super soft and exclusive yarn.
This yarn is particularly suitable for baby and children’s knitwear, as well as for the current trend of oversize knitwear on big needles for adults, as sweaters, cardigans, scarfs, and hats.
With all the beautiful colours in SNEFNUG, there is a rich opportunity to combine your own colour expression. It is recommended to HAND WASH the finished work, using a wool detergent, and lay it flat to dry.
SNEFNUG NATUR consists of 11 natural, un-dyed shades.
SNEFNUG WATERCOLOR is a luxuriously soft, airy yarn crafted from fine natural fibers and characterized by its distinctive watercolor-like variegation. Each shade is composed of delicately blended tones that drift gently into one another, creating depth, harmony, and a soft visual movement in the surface of the yarn.
Across the color range, the palette is inspired by nature’s quiet, organic moods - from forest floors, moss, bark, and mountain stone to dawn light, evening glow, and moonlit softness. Warm and cool tones are often woven together, giving each colorway a subtle balance and a naturally shifting expression that feels alive without being busy.
