Nua Worsted is a cosy yarn with a luxurious secret.

Nua worsted is a heavier version of Nua Sport. Its secret lies in its unique blend of Merino, Yak, and Linen, designed with cables and textured stitches in mind.

Why these three fibres?

Merino was chosen for that instantly recognisable soft and squishy base that we know you love. Yak is a dream fibre that adds a level of silkiness that warms your fingers as you work your stitches.

And Linen?

That’s our superhero.

Linen adds a rustic charm to this unique blend. Its strength and durability allow your garments to hold their structure and be soft yet hard-wearing. It also creates those natural flecks and reduces pilling. Which we know is essential to you.

Linen also has deep connections with our Irish culture, so it’s also our way of adding a touch of Ireland to each skein.

We like to think of Nua as our ‘dream fabric’. This worsted spun yarn creates a lighter fabric with a beautiful drape, and the natural fibres in gorgeous earthy colours make this yarn a pleasure to knit and a joy to wear.
