Our novelty: hand-dyed wool from Ireland

As you know, we are always looking for the most beautiful yarns for you and of course for us. Because only if we are convinced of it ourselves, we recommend wool to you.

Our latest discovery is the wool dyeing company “Life in the Long Grass” or “LITLG” for short.

LITLG originated in a hundred-year-old farmhouse in rural Ireland. After the restoration of the dilapidated estate, an in-house dye shop was built on the adjacent field in order to be able to lead the company exactly according to the values that are important to the founders: Sustainability, care, quality, ethical yarns and the employment of locals.

All yarns are carefully selected, ensuring that they come from ethical farms in Uruguay, Peru, England, Argentina, France or Portugal. All these farms work mulesing-free, because only in this way can sheep be treated appropriately.

When dyeing the yarns, too, great importance is attached to the protection of the environment. Thus, only natural dyes are used and the water needed for the dyeing is reused to avoid waste.

Values that we at Wolle & Staune can fully reconcile with our own principles. Why “LITLG” should no longer be missing in our range.

LITLG – SINGLES

SINGLES by “Life in the Long Grass” is a wonderful merino yarn for shawls or fine clothes. It not only impresses with high quality – the fine shimmer also gives the yarn a noble note. The yarn can be compared to “Skinny Singles” by “Hedgehog Fibres”.

We have currently booked a monthly “dye slot” at “LITLG” in order to receive new yarns on an ongoing basis and to be able to respond flexibly to your individual color requirements. So if there are any colors or materials you would like, just let us know.

Of course, suitable for our new yarns, the knitting magazines must not be missing. You will find a great selection of instructions HIER.

And now as always: Ran the knitting needles, ready & go!
