Countdown to Knit City Montréal !
Knit City Montreal is fast approaching!
We are busy at the workshop getting everything ready and we cannot wait for you to discover what we have lined up for this much-anticipated event.
Nurtured
Nurtured is a worsted-weight yarn, spun by our friends at Green Mountain Spinnery. Different from our other bases, Nurtured is dyed in the fleece, meaning that the fibers are dyed prior to the yarn being spun, resulting in all the different layers of colors blending into a beautiful heathered look.
Nurtured has a soft hand, 3-ply construction for strength, and is woollen-spun allowing flexible gauge. It’s great for cables and intricate stitch patterns, and it also brings texture to plain stockinette stitch fabric.

Nurtured Fine is Nurtured’s little sister, with the same beautiful fiber content in a single ply.
