Neve NATIVA™️ Yarn
£7.95
-
Extra Fine Merino with exceptional provenance.
Neve (or "Snow") is a wonderfully tactile, characterful yarn with a soft non-snaggy bouclé construction that creates three-dimensional depth and texture as you knit. Fabrics are cozy with a contemporary look.
What really sets Neve apart, however, is the wool itself.
Spun in Italy from 100% Extra Fine Merino wool measuring 19.5 microns, it produces cosy, lightweight fabric with a gently irregular surface and plenty of visual interest.
NATIVA™ is a robust wool programme, created to offer complete transparency from farm to finished garment. Every stage of the supply chain is independently verified, allowing the wool to be traced from the farm where it was grown through spinning, dyeing and manufacturing. Along the way, the programme promotes high standards of animal welfare, responsible land management, biodiversity, social responsibility and full chain-of-custody traceability.
- NATIVA™ is a robust system with a triple impact, based on scientific research and backed by data. NATIVARegen™ wool protects the land, safeguards the animals and support farmers and local communities - resulting in greater water quality and increased CO capturing levels.
That means you're not simply knitting with beautiful Merino - you're knitting with wool whose provenance has been carefully protected every step of the way.
PS - NATIVA isn't an alternative to GOTS - it's the premium benchmark for responsibly produced Merino wool. While GOTS focuses on organic textile production, NATIVA focuses on exceptional Merino fibre, complete traceability and independently verified standards for animal welfare, environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
Neve is perfect for sweaters, cardigans, accessories and timeless wardrobe pieces. As perfect for kids as it is for adults.
