I love jacquard knits, they add cheer to any wardrobe, keep you warm in the winter and the merino yarn just keeps you all snuggled up. I always wear Merino jacquards during the cooler months and can only highly recommend them. This lovely knit reminds of autumn colours, a combination of red, turquoise, light green and orange on a beige background.

* PLEASE NOTE: The grey background shown in the picture is slightly different to the actual one used, which is a light beige in colour. Do order a sample first if not sure.

What is Jacquard?

Jacquard is a broad term, but it basically means that the pattern is a woven design rather than printed. 

This lovely jacquard fabric is perfect for the cooler months of the year. Snug and warm, this fabric will need sewing unlike our other wool fabrics so far.

Warm, but breathable, this would make a lovely cardigan, waist coat, cape, jumper, skirt, coat, jacket, poncho, shawl, leg or hand warmers, children's clothing and even cushion covers or blankets. Also sleeping bags for babies or hot water bottle covers can be made from this fabric.

~ Please allow 7-10 days for fabric orders fulfillment in case we don't have enough in stock, due to limited storage space. We will get in touch, should that be the case. ~ 

Suggested sewing thread would be silk thread red 367

NETTLE Shawl ~ SEÁLTA GLAS

Our nettle shawl collection has been long in the making. The nettle fibre is collected, processed, spun and knitted by hand in Nepal, supporting a Fairtrade (currently processing application) organization that supports remote families and villages with a fair income. It is a long process, many hands and steps are involved. Once the shawls are done, we purchase the items directly from the organization and they send them to us in Ireland.

Once received, we scour and dye them using only natural ingredients. Our dye house is run on rainwater only. We use only cold mordanting methods which take a few days, but also save energy. We only work with two mordants, alum and iron acetate. No heavy metal or poisonous mordants/dyes are used in our system. 

Once dyed, the used dye, rinse and wash water is added to settlement tanks, filtered in gravel and plant filters before drip fed into an evergreen woodland were it is used as organic fertilizer and turned back into oxygen by the trees. 

Our left over dye matter is added to our wormery and turned into compost. After 6months it is used to feed our dye plants.

___________________________

Due to being handmade, each shawl is unique in length and width, as well as style. Nettle shawls, like linen, get softer with wear, though this one is already very soft.

Responsibly Produced

This soft wool is produced in Europe, closer to home than your regular merino wool! The wool is produced on small farms in Europe and is mulesing free. 

Perfect for Felting, Spinning and Knitting

All fibers align in the same direction and the roving has a regular thickness, making it an easy wool to knit with.

How long is this roving?

Wool is usually sold per weight. But sometimes you want to know how long the wool roving is. We have calculated the roving length of the different packages below:

• 50 grams = approx. 2 meters
• 250 grams = about 10 meters
• 1 kilo = about 40 meters
• Bump of 4.5 kilos = approx. 180 meters

Please note that this is an approximation. The length can vary per type of wool, per colour or per production. And the harder you pull, the longer the roving becomes.

Would you want to make sure you get the wool roving in one piece?

We try our best to deliver the roving in one piece. But please count in that even when we try our best we don’t always succeed. Sometimes we have no choice but to deliver the desired quantity in two or more pieces.
