1 x 50 gram ball of Bessie May NETTLE, an inspiring aran weight natural yarn. 

Back to nature with 30% un-dyed Nettle Fibre, and 70% Organic Wool. Soft natural shades, created by the un-dyed Nettle Fibre, defining the style, and creating a gentle coloured yarn, with a lovely fleck.

A new and exciting fibre mix, only available from Bessie May, which knits into a lovely Aran Weight fabric, perfect for cabling or showing off stitch definition, being a strong but also soft fabric.

Yes, Nettle Fibre is real stinging nettle - a fibre used for all sorts of things by our ancestors, including yarns, weaving, as well as for food and healing, as such a strong, versatile plant fibre.

Have a try, as it is a pleasure to work with, and so nice to use something different!
