🧵 The Yarn
POEMA NUANCE Wool by Laines du Nord is an iconic 100% mulesing-free merino wool yarn with a long-gradient degradé effect. Designed for those seeking ethical and superior quality yarn, POEMA NUANCE offers delicate, sophisticated shades that develop naturally throughout the ball, creating a perfect ombré effect for projects that require continuous color flow without interruptions.
The generous 150g and 600m format makes it ideal for large projects like shawls and stoles, which can be completed with just one ball. The single ply structure (non-twisted single strand) ensures enveloping softness and lightness, perfect for garments in direct contact with the skin. It works with 4-4.5mm needles or a crochet hook of the same size, and is suitable for both beginners and experts.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
Merino wool is a prized natural fiber, known for its superior fineness and softness compared to traditional wool. Merino fibers have a small diameter (between 18 and 24 microns), making them gentle on the skin, non-irritating, and perfect for garments requiring prolonged comfort. The mulesing-free certification ensures that the sheep have been raised without invasive practices, in full respect of animal welfare — a fundamental value for those choosing ethical and sustainable yarns.
Merino wool also offers excellent thermoregulatory properties: it retains heat when it's cold, but allows the skin to breathe when the temperature rises. This makes it ideal for mid-season accessories like shawls and stoles, which accompany the cool days of spring and autumn. The single ply structure amplifies the fiber's natural softness, creating a voluptuous, lightweight fabric, perfect for elegant and enveloping drapes.
📦 Ball format and yield
Each ball weighs 150 grams and offers approximately 600 meters of yarn (654 yards). This generous length allows you to make an entire shawl with just one ball, without interruptions in the degradé — a huge advantage for projects requiring color continuity. With simple stitches like garter or moss stitch, one ball covers approximately 120-140cm in width for a triangular shawl.
For larger projects like adult size M pullovers or cardigans, you will need approximately 2-3 balls. We recommend purchasing all necessary balls in the same order to ensure color consistency, as degradé shades can vary slightly between different dye lots. Always check the ball band to verify the dye lot code.
🧶 Recommended crafting
The recommended needles are 4-4.5mm (US 6-7), which produce a soft, draping fabric with a gauge of 19-24 stitches x 24 rows = 10cm. This size is ideal for showcasing the degradé effect without over-compressing the fibers: a fabric that is too tight hides the shades, while one that is too loose loses definition. Using 4mm needles yields a more structured result, perfect for accessories that need to hold their shape; 4.5mm needles provide a more fluid drape, ideal for enveloping shawls.
When crocheting, use the same size (4-4.5mm) and prefer simple stitches like chains, single crochets, or half-double crochets: elaborate stitches risk fragmenting the degradé effect. For beginners, we recommend starting with a 10x10cm swatch to check the gauge and get comfortable with the single ply structure, which requires uniform tension to avoid irregularities in the final fabric.
✨ Why choose POEMA NUANCE wool
Compared to synthetic or blended degradé yarns, POEMA NUANCE offers 100% natural fiber with all the properties of merino wool: breathability, thermoregulation, wear resistance, and the ability to maintain shape over time. Acrylic degradé yarns cost less, but do not offer the same comfort against the skin or the same durability. POEMA NUANCE is an investment for those who want to create garments that last for years, not just seasons.
The long-gradient ombré effect is designed to develop over the entire length of the ball, ensuring fluid and natural color transitions. You won't find abrupt interruptions or color repetitions: every ball is a unique chromatic work of art. This makes it perfect for projects where color is the protagonist, such as triangular shawls or asymmetrical stoles, where the shades tell a visual story from the beginning to the end of the project.
🎨 What you can create
POEMA NUANCE is the ideal yarn for triangular or asymmetrical shawls, where the degradé effect develops naturally from top to bottom. It is also perfect for rectangular stoles, capes, and enveloping cowls that require a soft drape and color continuity. Thanks to the generous yardage, you can also make long scarves, oversized hats, or baby blankets with just one ball.
👩🎨 Who it is for
POEMA NUANCE is suitable for both beginners and experts. The single ply structure requires uniform tension but presents no particular technical difficulties: if you know how to knit or crochet basic stitches, you can handle this yarn without any problems. The degradé effect does all the visual heavy lifting for you: even with the simplest stitches like garter stitch, the final result is spectacular.
It is the choice of hobbyists seeking ethical yarns, artisans selling handmade accessories, and those giving unique gifts. If you work on commission, POEMA NUANCE is a yarn that justifies a premium price: customers immediately recognize the quality of merino wool and the uniqueness of the ombré effect. Perfect even for those participating in craft fairs or selling online: shawls made with this yarn photograph beautifully and attract attention.

📌 Important note
The indicated yardage (approx. 600 meters) may vary slightly between production batches. Degrade shades may show color variations between different dye lots: to ensure uniformity in your final project, purchase all the necessary balls in the same order and check the batch code on the label. One 150g ball is generally sufficient for a shawl or scarf; for an adult size M pullover, 2-3 balls are required. Store unused balls in their original packaging, away from direct light and humidity.
