Fall and winter yarns are landing in space nearly daily! Today, we are so excited to welcome Stra from Woolfolk! With a blend of Merino and linen, Stra is an excellent option for transitioning from summer plant fibre projects to winter wool projects.

Yarn Details:

Stra, from the Danish word for straw, is a perfect 50/50 blend of Woolfolk’s Ovis 21 Ultimate Merino®  and linen. Featuring the chainette style that we love in so many of Woolfolk’s yarns, Stra balances woolly warmth with rustic linen, making it perfect for transition garments:

Pattern Inspiration (Danielle’s picks):

The Woolfolk Team has designed some lovely pieces using Stra. We have a trunk show in space with their newest designs, so make sure to drop by to be inspired! Below are Danielle’s two pattern picks for this yarn. She’s excited to make these pieces to wear in the DC Fall weather and then layer a blazer over them for winter!
