Soft, sophisticated, and strong.
Nua Sport is a beautiful blend of merino wool, yak, and linen, with each fiber bringing something special to the finished yarn. Merino gives it softness and bounce, yak adds a wonderfully silky feel, and linen provides strength, durability, and a subtle natural tweed effect.
The non-superwash construction creates a light, springy fabric that blocks beautifully and holds its shape—making Nua especially lovely for sweaters and other garments. Its sport weight is also wonderfully versatile: fine enough for beautiful colorwork and lightweight layers, but substantial enough that larger projects don't take forever to knit.
The colors are inspired by West Cork, Ireland, with the naturally brown yak base adding depth to the palette while the linen takes the dye differently to create Nua's distinctive, softly heathered appearance.
