Here are some creative ideas and knitting inspiration using Azun and Peira Worsted yarns, Pyrenean wool for knitting. And you'll see that, even though it's a slightly thick yarn, you can knit beautiful summer jackets in no time! Characteristics of Azun and Peira Worsted yarns Azun and Peira yarns are made from 100% wool from the Pyrenees , carefully selected, harvested and sorted by hand in the Val d'Azun and processed at the traditional spinning mill in Niaux. It is a blend of wool from from lourdaises and tarasconnaises ewes, two local sheep breeds. Azun yarn is available in its beautiful natural ecru colour , as well as in a range of colours obtained by vegetable dyeing and without alum mordant , thanks to the expertise of the Atelier Myrobolan in Felletin, Creuse. Peira yarn is available in its natural mottled grey colour , obtained by blending unbleached and black wool. Yarns entirely made in France and traceable ! Azun (3 strands, 193 m / 100 g) and Peira (3 strands, 183 m / 100 g) yarns are available as 100 g skeins, 50 g balls in several colours, or as cones per kg in natural colour. They are knitted with 4 - 5 mm needles (a good yarn idea for beginners) and can be knitted together! Sample after blocking (stockinette) with   Azun   on 10x10 cm 18 stitches * 28 rows with 4 mm needles 17 stitches * 25 rows with 5 mm needles Sample after blocking (stockinette) with   Peira   on 10x10 cm 18 mailles * 28 rangs avec aiguilles 4 mm 17 mailles * 26 rangs avec aiguilles 5 mm Azun and Peira yarns are authentic : they have a dry feel , roundness and fullness , but they don't sting ! They reflect the local terroir and pay homage to the ewes that graze in the meadows and mountain pastures. Here are some knitting ideas to create a sustainable wardrobe using natural wool from the Pyrenees :) Happy knitting! With 1 skein, I knit a hat! Introducing the Azun goes to Berlin beanie, created in collaboration with Alice im wolleland ! The design stands out for its central band, which elegantly marks the tapers, and its folded ribbed brim to keep the ears nice and warm. This project is not only quick and easy to make, but also very practical for winter. A single 100 g skein is all you need to make this cosy hat, which is sure to become a winter wardrobe staple. I knit a shawl with 2 skeins! An example of a pattern that can be knitted with any amount of wool is PetiteKnit's #sophieshawl. Simply weigh out the amount of wool you have and use half of it for each part of the pattern. I knitted the #sophieshawl with 2 skeins in 2 different colours for a two-tone effect, which makes a big fluffy scarf perfect for winter. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sophie-shawl-2 With 3 skeins or more, I can knit a jacket or a sweater! Here are two beautiful designs from Rosa Pomar, the Burgos jacket with buttons, and the Capital V jacket with plunging collar. I really like the idea of these two sleeveless jackets, which can be worn in the summer over a short- or long-sleeved tee, a shirt, a dress, etc. I love the plunging collar on the Capital V with the double-knit detail at the bottom, and the button detail on the Burgos is also very pretty. The loose fit of these jackets makes them really comfortable. I knitted these two jackets with Azun Worsted yarn in rhubarb yellow for the Burgos and oak beige for the Capital V, a natural shade that's easy to match! As well as being a quick and easy project to knit, I used less than 2.5 skeins for each model, in sizes 2 (Burgos) and 3 (Capital V). And good news, you can even knit a headband with less than 50g of yarn leftovers! I'd also like to introduce you to Rosa Pomar's Pelica jacket, a shepherd's jacket in moss stitch with an i-cord finish (which, by the way, goes perfectly with the #sophieshawl :) ). I knitted size 3 in the natural ecru colour, for an even more authentic look. In total, I needed 350g of wool (not including the swatch). I love the loose, very comfortable fit, another jacket you can wear all the time. The added bonus is the pretty buttons, which I chose in the forest green colour from Atelier Brunette . https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/burgos https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/capital-v-2 https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pelica Other ideas for jumpers to knit (non-exhaustive list!)

They are knitted with 3 - 3.5 mm needles and can be knitted together! Sample after blocking (stockinette) with Azun , 10x10 cm 23 stitches * 35 rows with 3 mm needles 20 stitches * 33 rows with 3.5 mm needles Sample after blocking (stockinette) with Peira , 10x10 cm 23 stitches * 36 rows with 3 mm needles 22 stitches * 34 rows with 3.5 mm needles Azun  and Peira  yarns are authentic : they have a dry feel , roundness  and fullness , but they don't sting !

Here are some knitting ideas  to create a sustainable wardrobe  using natural wool from the Pyrenees :) Happy knitting! With 1 skein of sport yarn, I can knit a hat! You only need one skein to knit a hat ! For example, I've knitted the #weekendhat by PetiteKnit in Campêche blue. It's a beanie with a double fold at the edges, so it keeps your ears warm. It fits well and is comfortable to wear. For the knitting accessories, you'll need stitch markers to mark the beginning of the round and the positions of the decreases, 60 cm circular needles for the main part and 80 cm for magic-loop knitting the small diameter of the tip of the hat. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/weekend-hat-5 Treat yourself to one of the wonderful plant colours in the range! I knit a shawl with 2 skeins! An example of a pattern that can be knitted with any amount of wool is PetiteKnit's #sophieshawl. Simply weigh out the amount of wool you have and use half of it for each part of the pattern. I knitted the #sophieshawl myself with Azun Worsted yarn (the other yarn in the Azun range), which makes a big, fluffy scarf that's perfect for winter, but it's perfectly possible to knit it with Azun Sport yarn, for a finer finish. With 4 skeins or more, I can knit a jumper! It's springtime! It's time to move away from chunky winter jumpers and into lighter, mid-season styles that will keep us warm on chilly mornings. Here, for example, are two gorgeous patterns by Orlane Sucche (@tête_bêche on Instagram) that I knitted recently to experiment with textures using yarns from the Azun Sport range. Neve is knitted in acacia pink and Ilha in natural ecru. The roundness of the yarn makes the twists stand out beautifully. I used around 3.5 skeins for each model (size 2 for the Ilha and size 3 for the Neve). A little tip just for you! As my sample didn't match exactly in number of rows (33 rows for 10 cm with Azun compared to 30 rows in the Neve model, using 3.5 mm needles), I added a few rows of stockinette after the raglan increases, before separating the sleeves from the body. This way you get the right length of yoke! A trick I also used for the Ilha model.

I'm delighted to introduce a brand new collection of handwoven bracelets, the Matières collection . This collection is the fruit of a reflection on the choice of new natural materials , as well as on the finishing touches to achieve even greater simplicity . The Matières collection consists of bracelets woven from natural wool from the Pyrenees , blended with French linen , a plant-based material with a unique feel and incredible strength. A collection with multiple sources of inspiration Linen is a natural plant material grown mainly in north-west France. Like wool, it has a number of virtues, including lightness, great strength and high absorbency. As a result, it is increasingly used in the textile sector, and is a material I prefer for my summer wardrobe because of its greater absorbency than cotton. What's more, growing linen doesn't require pesticides or a lot of water, but it's a delicate process because it's very weather-dependent (the amount of sunshine and water has to be kept to a minimum). It feels very different to wool, which is why I thought it would be interesting to combine them to create natural variations in texture. Its solidity also makes it the yarn of choice for long-lasting bracelets that can be worn every day. The combination of these two materials of plant and animal origin gives these bracelets a special character, and allowed me to experiment with new weaving techniques. The choice of bright colours contrasts with the colour of the wool, which I chose to keep natural (undyed yarns). Each bracelet is unique, meaning that it is not the result of a model that I reproduce. I create each piece according to my imagination, which is generally inspired by the material, the colours and the desire to experiment with textures, as well as by my current feelings. Linen and wool I used linen as the warp thread. It comes from the Fonty spinning mill in France. It's 100% French linen, fine, soft and very strong. For the weft yarns, I combined this same linen with wool from lourdaises and tarasconnaises ewes, collected in the Val d'Azun (High Pyrenees, France) and sorted by hand by myself before being sent to the Filature de Niaux in Ariège to be washed. I then take the wool back to my workshop in Belgium, where I live, and spin it into yarn. The wool is natural and has undergone no chemical treatment. The colours ecru and dark brown are the natural colours of the sheep, the grey being obtained by mixing these two colours in various proportions. Sizes Each bracelet is finished in linen with a macramé sliding knot that allows for a wider range of sizes. Each minimum and maximum length is indicated in the bracelet description. I can also adapt to your needs. If the proposed sizes don't suit you, we can discuss creating a made-to-measure bracelet together. Don't hesitate to contact me by email at knittyandwoolly@gmail.com or via the contact form, I'll be happy to advise you. Packaging your bracelet Each bracelet is first protected by a sheet of silk paper, which is recyclable and contains no chlorine or acid. The bracelet is then packaged in a European-made box, made from FSC-certified natural cardboard and water-based glue. These boxes contain no foam, which I don't find useful here. The boxes are therefore recyclable, but the main idea is that you can reuse them to store your bracelet or other items of jewellery. Finally, each box is slipped into an organic cotton pouch that you can also reuse to carry all sorts of little things. I really like these pouches, which can easily be slipped into a toiletry bag, for example. I also use them to store my knitting accessories! I hope you'll enjoy these new models of woven wool and linen bracelets, and that they'll inspire you to find out more about these two extraordinary materials. I hope to see you soon, Fanny Fondatrice de Knitty and Woolly Choosing a woven bracelet created by Knitty and Woolly means : -Adopting a little piece of the Pyrenees, wherever you are -Giving yourself or a loved one a unique piece of jewellery, handmade with passion, that has meaning and tells a story -Treat yourself or others while understanding the manufacturing process and the raw materials used in the product. -Support the craft industry and my commitment to the wool industry Care instructions for your bracelet What should I do if I get a stain? Wool is an exceptional natural fibre with many properties (see the Properties of wool page on my website). One of these is its ability to be self-cleaning and very dirt-repellent. It doesn't retain stains like other materials. If for any reason a stain gets on your bracelet, you can follow these recommendations: Soak the bracelet in cold or even lukewarm water (but not hot, and possibly with a mild soap-free detergent or a detergent compatible with wool), and rub very gently with your finger to remove it. Rinse with clean water, without rubbing. -Wax the bracelet by sandwiching it in a towel and pressing it gently, without wringing it. -Dry your bracelet flat. Other tips for looking after your bracelet -It's best not to shower with your bracelet on. The combination of hot water and rubbing will cause the wool to felt. Soaps such as shower gel could also damage it. -As with other items of jewellery, avoid pulling hard on it to avoid breaking the fasteners or deforming it.
