Vintage Button – Nettle 4 Ply

Vintage Button on Nettle is a rich, variegated blend of deep teal, vivid cobalt blue and near-black. The teal forms the heart of the colourway, shifting between blue-green and deeper petrol tones, while flashes of cobalt add brighter, more saturated blue. Near-black sections move through the skeins, creating contrast and depth against the stronger blues. The colours blend and overlap in an irregular pattern, giving the yarn a slightly moody, textured appearance. On Nettle, a Corriedale 4 ply base, the combination has a strong, defined look, with the dark and bright shades working together to create a colourway that is bold without being overly bright.

difficult to photograph accurately - the yarn is mainly teal coloured.

I am unfortunately no longer able to buy this rather wonderful rustic yarn... I have a small amount left in stock.

About Nettle

Nettle is a woollen-spun 4 ply yarn made from 100% Australian-grown Corriedale wool, with every step from fleece to dyeing completed locally in Victoria. It has a distinctly woolly, coarse feel and a sturdy handle, giving it a character that suits practical garments and projects where structure and durability are important.

With its natural grip and textured finish, Nettle is well suited to colourwork, outer layers, rustic sweaters, cardigans, hats and other accessories. Its woollen-spun construction gives the yarn a fuller feel, making it a good choice for projects that benefit from a little extra body and definition.

Nettle is particularly suited to knitters who appreciate the character of traditional wool yarns and prefer a more rustic finish over a soft, smooth feel.

Knitting & Crochet Information

• Typical knitting gauge: Approximately 24–28 stitches per 10cm, depending on needle size and project.

• Recommended knitting needles: 3.25–4mm.

• Recommended crochet hooks: 3.5–4.5mm.

These are general guidelines. A tension swatch is recommended to determine the best needle or hook size for your chosen project.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water using a wool-friendly detergent. Avoid agitation, rubbing or sudden temperature changes, and do not wring. Gently squeeze out excess water and dry flat, away from direct heat and sunlight. Take care when handling wet wool to help prevent felting and maintain the shape of your finished project.
