Onion Soft Organic Wool + Nettles is a super soft and ultra light 1-ply organic wool yarn with a blend of pesticide-free cultivated nettle fibers. The nettle fiber gives the organic wool many good properties, among other things that the wool becomes more "breathable" and a "delicate skin" can also often tolerate this wool yarn, it is therefore very suitable for both baby and children's knitting and the wool is therefore also useful throughout the year around.
In addition, the yarn gets a nice shine and natural melange, as the nettle fibers do not accept color.
Nettle fiber is also called "poor man's silk", as it has almost the same properties as silk.
