Laines Du Nord yarn

Laines du Nord yarn: Italian colour and diverse natural fibres

Laines du Nord yarn will appeal to knitters looking for Italian production, expressive colour transitions and compositions suited to different projects. The category includes fine and medium-weight merino wool yarns, silk, mohair and silk blends, sock yarn, cotton and soy fibre blends, and a decorative metallic thread. Choose for the intended item: a sweater, shawl, socks or shimmering accent will each require a different length, structure and care routine.

About Laines du Nord

Laines du Nord is an Italian yarn manufacturer established in 1978, with more than four decades of experience. The company describes its distinctive approach as a combination of Italian textile craftsmanship, technical development and continuing research into colour and texture. Its official collections place strong emphasis on natural fibres, including wool, cotton, alpaca and cashmere, together with vivid shades, harmonious transitions and printed effects.

The manufacturer also states that it uses certified raw materials and that its wool yarns are mulesing-free. When buying, rely on the composition, labelling and care information of the exact product because the properties of individual collections differ.

Which Laines du Nord yarns can you find at Siūlų Bangos?

• DOLLY 125 and DOLLY BABY are both 100% merino wool yarns, but their lengths differ. DOLLY 125 has approximately 125 m / 50 g, while the finer DOLLY BABY has about 233 m / 50 g. Compare them by the pattern gauge and the fabric thickness you want. Explore other merino wool yarn.
• POEMA is a long colour-gradient yarn made from 100% merino wool, approximately 600 m / 150 g. It suits projects where you want a continuous colour transition without using many separate balls.
• SPRING WOOL combines merino wool and cotton. This blend can be useful for transitional-season garments, although the pattern and gauge determine its final suitability.
• LUXURY SILK is 100% silk yarn, while POEMA MOHAIR combines mohair with silk and offers a long length. Compare our silk yarns and mohair yarn.
• HARMONIOUS SOCKS combines wool and nylon for socks and other items exposed to more friction. Find other options in the sock yarn category.
• BABY SOFT combines cotton and soy fibre, while ARMÉ is a fine metallised polyester and polyamide thread for decorative shimmer. ARMÉ can be held with another yarn as an accent, depending on the effect you want.

How to choose the right option

Compare yarn length rather than ball weight alone. For example, 50 g balls of LUXURY SILK and POEMA MOHAIR contain very different lengths, so the number of balls needed will not be the same. Use the total metres stated in the pattern, add an allowance for a swatch and choose one dye lot.

Before a larger project, make a swatch and wash it according to the label. This reveals the true gauge, drape, halo and scale of the colour transition. Smooth yarns show textured stitches more clearly, while multicoloured or fluffy yarns may work best with a simpler pattern. If the item will touch the skin, assess the fibre feel individually.

Keep natural-fibre garments clean and folded, and always follow the exact label for washing and drying. Assess colours in daylight because screen settings can change their appearance. If a project requires several balls, compare their dye lot numbers before starting.
