It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the magnificent Peira sweater , imagined and created by Joanna Filip , a knitwear designer in Brussels, which she knitted using Peira Sport yarn from my new range of yarns. This collaboration was born out of a shared love of natural, authentic wools, which make it possible to create long-lasting pieces for your wardrobe. I'm delighted that wool from the Pyrenees has made its way to Brussels! It's such a wonderful way of showcasing the wool from the lourdaises and tarasconnaises ewes of the Val d'Azun, nestled in the heart of the French Pyrenees. The pattern is now released as well as wool kits ( all the practical info is at the end of the interview ) and for the occasion, Joanna gave me an interview in which you can find out more about her, her work and the Peira sweater. Enjoy the interview and see you at the end! Photo credit @Joanna Filip Hi Joanna, could you introduce yourself in a few words for those of us who are just discovering you? Photo credit @Joanna Filip Hello, my name is Joanna, I'm Polish and I've been living in Brussels with my French partner for almost ten years. How did you get involved in knitting, wool and design? My story is probably similar to that of many people. When I was a child, my mother taught me to knit and crochet. These activities have been with me ever since. Even though I've always knitted with straight needles and considered it a grandmother's hobby, I've remained attached to it. In fact, my grandmother was a passionate knitter and crocheter, which no doubt reinforced my love for these skills. Even though she died when I was five, her passions made me feel closer to her. I've always taken great pleasure in creating with my own hands. During the Covid period, I explored a bit of sewing as well as making objects with a zero waste approach. I've always been drawn to the creative side of things. At the beginning of 2023, I discovered just how much the world of knitting had evolved. It was no longer just a traditional activity, but an art form in the midst of a renaissance! What kind of wool do you like to work with and why? Peira yarn I particularly enjoy working with natural wools. I'm particularly drawn to wools that have a story behind them, a know-how passed down from generation to generation. I think they have a unique character that tells a deep story. I also love the smell of wool, and the fact that it contains straws. These wools have that authenticity and warmth that give them a soul. How do you find inspiration for your knitting designs? Everywhere: through travel, painting, nature and objects. Recently, I saw a plate with beautiful patterns that inspired me. It's amazing how the richness of textures and shapes found in everyday life can be a source of inspiration. What kind of designs do you like to offer? Lately, I've been loving jumpers with dropped shoulders and a loose, relaxed fit. I get a lot of inspiration from that, and I've got lots of ideas for this type of design. My aim is to create timeless pieces that don't go out of fashion, but are still affordable. For me, knitting should always be fun. I don't like knitting things that are too complicated, with diagrams that are hard to remember. I like to be able to sit down in the evening and knit quietly, without worrying. Can you tell us about your new model, the Peira Sweater, which you knitted using Knitty and Woolly 's Peira Sport wool? Photo credit @Joanna Filip The jumper is seamless, knitted from top to bottom. It has dropped shoulders and a positive 31 to 35 cm roominess at the chest. Very comfortable, it's worked in a lace pattern, light and airy, perfect for spring and cool summer evenings. Easy to make, diagrams are included in the pattern. What did you like about this yarn? It's the texture! It's so pleasant to work with and really brings out the openwork. It would also work perfectly with cables. What's more, the grey colour really enhances the details of the knitting. It's a real pleasure to knit with this yarn! Photo credit @Joanna Filip Do you already have any new projects in mind? Yes, I've got a thousand ideas in my head, and just as many samples piling up at home! My partner asked me recently, a little desperately: "Aren't there too many samples? At the moment, I'm knitting a jumper entirely covered in pretty cables. And... I've also got a few secret projects on my needles. I'd also like to create a cardigan or vest, or do a little Peira collection. And finally, where can I find the models you offer? For the moment, it's only on Ravelry, but I hope to be able to create my own site and offer my designs there too. ~ Thank you so much Joanna for sharing this lovely story ~ I hope you enjoyed this interview and that you now know more about Joanna and her work as a knitwear designer :) Now you know what you have to do: sharpen your needles! Now here's all the practical information about this pattern and the wool: The pattern is available for sale on Joanna's Ravelry page . Joanna has knitted the Peira sweater in the natural mottled grey colour, but new colours handdyed with plants will soon be available in the Peira range! You can also use Azun Sport yarns, the same thickness as Peira, to knit this pattern. Yarn kits are available on my webshop. Keeping up to date couldn't be easier: all you have to do is subscribe to my newsletter from my website!

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 or a turtleneck with 2 skeins! An example of a pattern that can be knitted with any amount of wool is PetiteKnit's Sophie shawl . Simply weigh out the amount of wool you have and use half of it for each part of the pattern. I knitted the Sophie shawl with 2 skeins in 2 different colours for a two-tone effect, which makes a big fluffy scarf perfect for winter. Not a big fan of scarves? A turtleneck is a great alternative! A warm turtleneck with your back and shoulders covered is so practical! I knitted the Terrazzo neck from PetiteKnit with my new Peira Worsted yarn, in single thread (in the pattern, it says to double it with a mohair thread, but the Peira thread is more than enough on its own :). ). https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sophie-shawl-2 https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/terrazzo-neck With 3 skeins or more, I can knit a jacket or a sweater! Here are two beautiful designs from Rosa Pomar , the Burgos vest with buttons, and the Capital V vest 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 vests 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 vest , 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!)

Here are some creative ideas and knitting inspiration using Azun and Peira Sport yarns, Pyrenean wool for knitting, whether with a single skein or several! Characteristics of Azun and Peira Sport 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.

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 ! 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 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.

Natural, authentic yarns and creations that bring local wool to life—including wool from the Lourdaise sheep, a breed threatened with extinction Pyrenean wool for sustainable creations Discover knitting yarn Natural wool yarns from the Pyrenees, for all your projects With Knitty and Woolly , I promote an exceptional natural resource: wool from the Pyrenees , sourced from iconic local sheep breeds such as the Lourdaise —a breed that is still threatened with extinction today—and the Tarasconnaise . This wool reflects all the richness and authenticity of the Pyrenean terroir. Now living in Belgium , I regularly return to the Val d'Azun where I grew up to collect and sort wool by hand with the utmost care, directly from the farmers. I then entrust this raw material to local players in the French wool industry, who transform it into natural and authentic knitting yarns . In my workshop in Belgium, I create unique pieces by hand —woven bracelets, wool accessories—to help you discover another way to wear and love this noble material. My approach 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 :).
