Organic Merino Wool Nm 28/2 - Lace weight 50g
When your project calls for something featherlight yet luxurious, not just any wool will do. Venne’s Organic Merino Nm 28/2 offers the perfect blend of softness, structure, and ethical sourcing, making it ideal for delicate weaving and wearable finishes that truly feel good against the skin.
It’s frustrating when you’re planning a soft, flowing piece, such as a scarf or fine wrap, and the yarn options either feel scratchy, flimsy, or raise an ethical question mark. Especially when you're weaving close to the skin, fibre choice makes all the difference between “just okay” and truly special.
This merino changes that. Its fine lace weight (Nm 28/2) gives you room to play with detail and drape, while its softness feels gentle, even comforting, against the skin. The fact that it’s 100% organic and GOTS-certified means you’re choosing something that aligns with your values as well. No compromise between ethics and quality.
And once your cloth is off the loom? Expect a result that feels light, elegant, and effortless. There’s a calm satisfaction in knowing your project is as lovely to wear as it was to make, with fibre that worked with you every step of the way.
