Find out all about the origins of the creative company Knitty and Woolly and my approach Approach Originally from Val d'Azun in the Hautes-Pyrénées, daughter of a sheep breeder and a mother who paints, I've been living in Belgium for a few years. I have been passionate about crafts since my childhood (pottery, pyrography, painting, etc.). Very quickly, my heart fell on the arts of yarn and wool, this extraordinary natural and renewable resource. My grandmother taught me knitting, a technique that I continue to explore as I grow up! My years of study and the obtaining of my doctorate in physico-chemistry in France destined me for a scientific career and I continued my research activities in Belgium in Antwerp, where I have since put down my luggage with my family. I knit every day, which brings me a lot of happiness. A few years ago I started creating designs, some of which I adapted as a pattern. This freedom in creation is a real satisfaction. And that's not all: I also transform wool in an artisanal way in my workshop. It is in particular the daily practice of knitting that pushed me to wonder about the modes of transformation of the raw material, wool. Under what conditions is it produced and where is it processed? What happens to the wool of our local breeds of sheep? Much less famous than their merino cousins, the breeds of sheep bred in our beautiful Pyrenees also deserve to be known! Far from my native lands, I was quickly overtaken by my passion for the arts of yarn and my peasant roots. The need to create being stronger, I decided that the creation of my company should not remain an idea in mind but become reality! So I hung up my lab coat to devote myself fully to the creation of my business. My name is Fanny and after several years in scientific research,I founded my company Knitty and Woolly in 2023 to promote wool from the Hautes-Pyrénées, and continue in my own way the project my father took part in over 30 years ago, to save and promote the ewe from the Massif! I'm passionate about promoting the wool of these ewes and helping to raise the profile of this endangered mountain breed. The wool of Tarasconnais ewes, another local breed, has different qualities and properties, so I thought it would be a good idea to combine them to create a unique blend. With Knitty and Woolly , I offer you : - authentic, natural knitting and weaving yarns, processed in France by people involved in the wool industry with traditional, artisanal know-how. - handmade creations to help you discover wool in a different way, including bracelets woven from hand-spun wool and other textile materials. - creative workshops to share my passion with the local Belgian public, help them discover this exceptional fibre and pass on ancestral skills that allow us to lift our feet from our fast-paced daily lives. At Knitty and Woolly, you will find... Knitting yarns Azun and Peira yarns are made from 100% wool from the Hautes-Pyrénées, traceable and without chemical treatment (no carbonising, bleaching or superwash treatment). The yarns are made in Niaux in Ariège, in a spinning mill with a fascinating history. To add a touch of colour , I called on the Myrobolan workshop in Creuse to carry out a traditional vegetable dyeing process. For knitting ideas, visit my blog !

Discover the properties of wool, an exceptional renewable natural material with a wide range of applications The (many!) properties of wool Wool is a truly amazing material that has many useful and practical properties. Here is a preview! Renewable and sustainable The sheep are shorn once a year, it is obligatory and necessary for their health. Wool always grows back! Not odorous The natural properties of wool combine very well to limit the proliferation of bacteria responsible for bad body odours. Insulating Capable of storing up to 80% air in its own volume, it is hot and cool at the same time! Its tortoiseshell structure also increases the wool surface in contact with the air while slowing down its circulation, whatever its temperature. Biodegradable Wool, composed mainly of keratin, degrades naturally through the action of microorganisms (bacteria and fungi). Non-allergenic Wool is mostly made up of keratin. It is therefore unlikely to be allergic to it (it would be like being allergic to our hair). Fire resistant Naturally flame retardant, it offers a higher degree of fire protection than other materials. When it burns (this requires subjecting it to a very strong heat source), it does not melt, flow or stick! This property is due to its high nitrogen and water content, which must be compensated by a greater supply of oxygen to initiate combustion. Breathable Wool has the ability to absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture which is then released as water vapor into the air. So we stay dry! Depolluting It has the ability to chemically fix certain indoor air pollutants permanently, in particular certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as formaldehyde. UV protection Wool offers excellent natural protection against the sun's UV rays. Indeed, it absorbs radiation from the entire UV spectrum more effectively than other materials. Easy to maintain The wool is dirt-repellent, crease-resistant and non-odorous. No need to wash your wool sweater often, 2 to 3 times a year is enough! A few maintenance tips here .

A family passion for the lourdaise ewe and its conservation, its wool and other stories of pastoral culture in the Hautes-Pyrénées, in Occitanie Stories A family story My relationship with wool and knitting is quite simply a family story. My passion for knitting and yarn arts, but also for creative hobbies in general, is probably in my genes. I learned to knit with my paternal grandmother, when I was a child, my maternal grandmother was a seamstress, and my mother transmitted her taste for colors to me through painting. And the wool in all this? About thirty years ago, my father, then a history and geography teacher and very attached to the local heritage, made the choice to become a breeder and to actively commit to safeguarding the Lourdaise, an emblematic sheep breed and local from the Hautes-Pyrénées, then on the verge of extinction. This is how, in parallel with his work as a teacher, he developed a passionate passion for the breeding of this very special breed of sheep. With about 1300 animals in 2023 (while the threshold for threatened breed status is set at 6,000 animals), the lourdaise sheep is today, and despite its remarkable efforts, still protected by the Unité Pyrénéenne Races Allaitantes (UPRA ovine) from the central Pyrenees. My father also collaborated with the UPRA following a request to the Institut Technique de l'Élevage Ovin et Caprin (ITOVIC) in a conservation program for the lourdaise breed by freezing semen from selected rams, including one from his herd. When I look back, I can only be admiring and proud of his work and am very grateful to him for having led me on this adventure. So, since I was born, my father always took me with him to the farm. I have always liked contact with these animals, the lourdaise sheep being particularly gentle and affectionate. When the births didn't always go as planned, I was the one who bottle-fed the lambs, and I loved it! I have always been immersed in the world of breeding, and so it was only natural that I came interested in wool. It is an incredible material with many properties that deserves to be known and used for its virtues. Pastoral stories My reflections on the origins of wool and its transformation are undeniably linked to respect for animal well being. The breeds of sheep bred in the Hautes-Pyrénées live for several months of the year in high mountain pastures. As a child, I accompanied my father on the transhumance of his flock in the Hautes-Pyrénées National Park in the Marcadau Valley. What unforgettable memories! They will forever be etched in my heart, as they are such an integral part of my story. The lourdaise is also rather special in that, unlike other breeds, it feeds mainly on hay and regain, harvested by farmers directly in the valley, which limits the use of cereals and the environmental problems that are unfortunately sometimes associated with them. The rest of the year, the sheep graze in the meadows in the low mountains and are sheltered in the sheepfold when the weather conditions are difficult in winter. Some herds even live outdoors all year round. The local sheep are therefore bred in semi-freedom. They are sheared once a year by professionals, with great technique and who master the art of shearing, conditions necessary for the good health of the animal. The lourdaise is also quite special because unlike other breeds, it feeds mainly on hay and regrowth, harvested by farmers directly in the valley, which limits the use of cereals and the environmental problems that unfortunately sometimes associated with it. The challenges of the wool sector The wool produced in France is very little and poorly valued. Before the COVID crisis in 2019, most French wool was bought from breeders by wholesalers at a derisory price, not even covering the cost of shearing, before being exported to China, to be processed there by industrial processes (with the ecological and social impacts that we know), then returned to the European market in the form of finished products. In 2021, barely 4% of French wool was valued on the territory according to the Tricolor collective. Worse still, this wool, although the result of considerable work on the part of breeders throughout the year, is increasingly considered as cumbersome waste that is difficult to get rid of. It is not uncommon to see breeders resolved to burn it, for lack of alternative solutions. In addition, French and more broadly European wool is subject to competition from merino sheep wool harvested in Oceania. The revival of the French wool sector therefore represents a solution for the future to relocate wool production and its transformation, to highlight the different wools of our regions and to revive ancestral know-how.
