Natural yarns and creations based on the wool of local breeds of sheep, including the endangered lourdaise
Wool from Pyrenees for your creations
With Knitty and Woolly, I have at heart to preserve a natural and local resource, wool of Pyrenees, so that it is no longer a waste product, while encouraging local, artisanal companies to transform it into a yarn that is authentic and reflects the local terroir.
Moreover, through unique hand-made creations, I also want to highlight the endangered lourdaise, a local breed of sheep in the Pyrenees.

Your expérience
"I chose Azun Worsted to make a simple jacket (Burgos by Rosa Pomar). The wool is very round, well spun and even. I really like the dryness of it, but at the same time it doesn't sting. The colour is deep and true to the photos on the website. I've already knitted half of my jacket and I really like the look, the texture and the definition of the stitches :) The package also arrived beautifully wrapped with a few little surprises inside, which doesn't spoil the pleasure :). Thank you Fanny!

Wool,
a surprising natural material
Sheep's wool is an incredible natural fiber. There is so much to discover about this material... Where does it come from? How is it transformed into yarn? How is it used and in what forms?
At Knitty and Woolly, the wool comes from Lourdaise and Tarasconnaise sheep breeds and is harvested in the Hautes-Pyrénées, in the South West of France. It is then transformed into yarn by local actors who use ancestral processes.
Passionate about this fiber, I also use part of this wool to make creations in a 100% artisanal and natural way. All stages of wool transformation (sorting, carding, spinning, dyeing) can be discovered during workshops.
