Woodland, part of our Verde Collection of eco-conscious yarns, is a
combination of wool and environmentally-friendly nettles. Each of these
fibers takes the dye differently, giving both the neutral and vibrant
colors of Woodland a heathered look.
Nettles are a perennial that requires low levels of water and little or
no pesticides. Nettle fibers are similar to linen and hemp but produce a
softer, silkier fabric. Nettles show color well and when mixed with wool
add lightness, minimize shrinkage and are breathable.

Woodland includes five designs in the yarn that shares the booklet's
name. A new addition to the Verde Collection in fall 2010, these designs
have interesting stitch details that compliment the very unique yarn
used to make them. The mittens, tam and cropped kimono-style cardigan
are quick, satisfying knits and the cabled vest and lace edge cardigan
are beautiful showpieces.
