Nua Sport by Carol Feller
Nua is a blend of merino, yak, and linen. Each of these fibers contributes something special to create an amazing yarn blend.
Merino provides a soft, squishy, and versatile base. Yak adds a unique silkiness to the yarn that knitter fingers will simply love. Finally, linen, a fiber with a deep history in Irish culture, adds strength and durability.
Nua is non-superwash, which creates a lighter yarn with a bit more bounce, making blocking easier and helping projects (especially garments) to hold their shape nicely.
Sport weight yarns are light enough to do fine color work and create lighter sweaters, but still knits up quickly enough that big projects don’t take too long.

The blend of fibers also work together to create rich and interesting colorways. The linen absorbs dye differently which allows the yarn to have a natural tweed effect, and the yak is the key to the subtle color palette. It adds a natural light brown to the base yarn so all the colors are just that little bit darker in the finished yarn.
"The colors in Nua Sport are some of my favorites, inspired by where I live in West Cork, Ireland. The wide range of subtle natural shades punctuated with some vibrant accent colors create a palette of seasonally inspired complementary colors that are a pleasure to work with and to look at.
I hope you will enjoy knitting with Nua Sport as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it!" - Carol Feller
