Log In 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 :).

I am delighted to introduce the new Peira yarn range . I named this base Peira in homage to the gray standing stones (Peira hita in Occitan) found in the Val d'Azun , where the wool comes from, which are historical gems of our mountainous region. Peira yarns were created by blending ecru wool and black wool. The result is a beautiful mottled grey, warm and natural. The wool has a dry feel but is not itchy! The yarn is also very strong and incredibly round. This new base comes in natural mottled grey , as well as several plant-based colors . Ideal for knitting jumpers or accessories (hats, mittens, etc.). If you need inspiration, I have some ideas for knitting patterns using sport or worsted yarns on my blog.

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.

Selecting and sorting the wool is a crucial stage before it is processed by spinning or by hand. Discover my work Wool selection Wool, an essential raw material, is at the heart of my work. There is no mystery to obtaining high-quality yarn: every step of the selection and sorting process counts. You can discover the entire process here. Collection and sorting The quality of wool varies not only from one breed of sheep to another, but also from one farm to another, depending on the way they are reared, the lambing period and the health of the animals. Wool is of much higher quality if it comes from a healthy flock (I'll tell you more about sheep farming in the Hautes-Pyrénées here). Quality wool means strong, long, wavy and fine fibres, and a beautiful colour. So wool selection is a vital first step. Once a year, the sheep are sheared by professionals. I then travel to France to collect wool in the Val d'Azun directly from the farmers. To produce high-quality yarn, you first need to select the best fibers, those that meet the criteria I explained above. Certain parts of a fleece are unsuitable: they may contain coarse hairs or jarre (to find out more about the structure of wool, take a look at the dedicated article on my blog). These parts are therefore discarded. Next comes the sorting stage, which I do entirely by hand. But what exactly does this involve? A freshly shorn fleece often contains dust, plant debris such as hay, or areas soiled with droppings. All these elements are carefully removed by hand. It is a long and sometimes tedious task, but it is essential. No chemicals are used to remove organic matter: everything is done with respect for the wool and its authenticity. Characteristics of selected wools The wool of the Lourdaise sheep is distinguished by the length of its fibers, which ensure the strength of the yarn. It is also very fluffy, and once washed, it reveals a beautiful ecru color, bright and warm. In some rarer sheep, the fleece takes on a magnificent dark brown, almost black color. I carefully preserve these special fleeces to use in some of my handcrafted creations or in yarn production. Tarascon wool, on the other hand, is ivory white and provides fineness and volume. By combining it with Lourdes wool, I create a unique blend that highlights the complementary qualities of these two local Pyrenean breeds.
