Wool yarns
Knitty and Woolly wool yarns are natural (the wool has not been carbonized, bleached, or superwash treated) and their production is part of a commitment to transparency regarding the origin of raw materials and their processing.
They have been certified as traceable by LAINAMAC Filière laine and are listed in the new Lanathèque.
The lourdaise sheep breed now has its own page in the sheep breeds listed.
In more details...
Azun yarns are authentic: they have a dry feel, roundness and fullness, but they don't sting! They reflect the local terroir, paying homage to the ewes that graze in the meadows and mountain pastures. The range consists of the natural ecru color and several vegetable dyes.
If you need some inspiration, I can give you some ideas for patterns to knit with sport or worsted yarns on my blog.

The wool Knitty and Woolly is...
From local sheep breeds: the lourdaise and the tarasconnaise
Following in the footsteps of her father, a sheep breeder, Knitty and Woolly selected the lourdaise, which is on the verge of extinction, and the tarasconnaise, two emblematic sheep breeds from the Pyrenees.
Harvested and sorted
by hand in the
Hautes-Pyrenees
Knitty and Woolly harvests the wool in the Val d'Azun, where she grew up, then sorts it entirely by hand before it goes to the spinning mill.
Transformed
locally
in France
The wool, traceable from end to end, is washed and transformed in Ariège in an artisanal spinning mill according to ancestral methods, and hand-dyed using vegetable dyes in the Creuse.
