Have you had a chance to work with Ancient Arts Little Nettle Soft yet? If not, now’s your chance! But hurry to call in, as this yarn flies out the door – it is a staff favourite and quickly becoming a customer favourite too!
Here are a few highlights of what makes this yarn so special and desirable – besides the glorious colours, that is:
- Eco-friendly! Little Nettle Soft is made from sustainable natural fibres – a blend of fine merino and nettle, yes - NETTLE!
- Hand dying process uses low impact techniques
- Warm in winter but breathes in summer
- Stunning lustre, drape, and great stitch definition
- Nettle is softer than linen or hemp and gets softer and softer over time
- Nettle is both strong and insulating
- 100% natural fibre yarn
- All-natural, durable ‘sock yarn’ that contains NO synthetic fibres

New colours have arrived in Little Nettle Soft:

So, what can you make with one skein of Little Nettle Soft or Socknado? Here are a few shawls that take about 350 mtrs to knit:
That should keep you busy knitting for a while (wink) and think of how many different colourways we could work with if we knit even half of these shawl patterns!?!
And lastly, but definitely not least, we have a BRAND NEW washable, synthetic DK weight yarn to share with you…
Stonewash DK is a quality, double knit weight yarn, spun in Turkey from 100% Premium Acrylic, with beautiful ‘stonewash effect’ shades that feature variegated colours.
The gentle play of shades across each colourway have soft dappled flecks that are spread sporadically throughout the yarn and with varying intensities of colour that produce a pleasing and unique colour palette. The stonewashed effect creates a more subtle mix for fashionable, modern looking garments that still have a dash of traditional style.
Soft, versatile and machine washable, Stonewash DK is perfect for everyday garments or accessories.
You'll be able to get creative with DK patterns, whether you're knitting something special for yourself or as a gift for someone else.

Jen has been very busy!!
Have you seen all the new products & yarns that have been added to our online catalogue? We’ve added our Zen custom colourways, many of our Clover notions, among others, as well as some needle felting supplies to our website with up-to-date stock and prices! We also have needle felting supplies available that include beginner kits, dyed and combed fleece, felting needles, mats, background felt, raw fleece measured by the gram, and even some “finger protectors” for those of us a little bit more error-prone :)
DID YOU KNOW: Our online yarn catalogue now has prices for all yarns, and the quantity we have of each colour! This way it’s even easier for you to see what we have in the store without leaving your house! It’s a win-win for everyone!
The prices and stock of notions, needles, kits and accessories are being added daily. And as always, feel free to email us to inquire about specific products if you don’t see them listed.
Shall we all send out a big “Thanks Jen!”, for your industriousness in expanding our online catalogue? Given that we can’t physically enter the store yet, it will make our shopping & ordering experiences much easier, I’m sure.
The lilacs are blooming, one of my favourite flowers.
Have a great week!
