Wool from Pyrenees for your creations
Yarns and knitting accessories
Natural french wool yarns, for all your projects
With Knitty and Woolly, I'm committed to preserving and highlighting a natural and local resource of the highest quality, wool from the Pyrenees, while encouraging local businesses and craftspeople to transform it into natural, authentic knitting yarn that reflects the local terroir.
The wool comes from two breeds of ewe that are emblematic of the Pyrenees: the endangered lourdaise ewe and the tarasconnaise ewe.
Through unique creations made by hand in my workshop, in particular woven bracelets, I hope to help you discover a different way of wearing this noble material.

Your expérience
« (...) I was immediately impressed with the wool. It is both rough and soft and has such an interesting dry, dense and strong texture that is very easy and satisfying to work with. The quality is clearly stellar, this wool is made to last and creates a rustical and interesting knit that keeps my head and ears perfectly warm without being itchy or overheating. (...)
I would recommend this for anyone with a passion for beautiful and natural wool, as it is clearly a labour of love and of high quality and durability. (...)
The price point certainly is an investment but I was impressed by this yarn and its ethical and mindful production and the natural tints as well as the care and presentation, the price to me is more than justified (...) »

Wool,
a surprising natural material
Sheep's wool is an incredible natural fiber. There is so much to discover about this material... Where does it come from? How is it transformed into yarn? How is it used and in what forms?
At Knitty and Woolly, the wool comes from Lourdaise and Tarasconnaise sheep breeds and is harvested in the Hautes-Pyrénées, in the South West of France. It is then transformed into yarn by local actors who use ancestral processes.
Passionate about this fiber, I also use part of this wool to make creations in a 100% artisanal and natural way. All stages of wool transformation (sorting, carding, spinning, dyeing) can be discovered during workshops.
