🧵 The Yarn

YOUNG AND TRENDY by Laines du Nord is a super bulky yarn made of 100% mulesing-free wool, designed for those who seek vibrant colors, fast knitting, and striking results. Its soft roving-like texture and single-ply structure ensure superior stitch definition, enhancing even the simplest designs. Perfect for hobbyists, artisans, and those who love creating handmade garments with personality.

Each 100g ball offers approximately 80 meters of multicolor yarn, ideal for 6-7mm needles and matching crochet hooks. The generous thickness makes knitting smooth and fast, making this yarn suitable even for those who are trying their hand at oversized projects or winter accessories for the first time.

🧬 Technical Composition: Why it works

The 100% mulesing-free wool in YOUNG AND TRENDY comes from certified farms that respect animal welfare and follow ethical shearing practices. Laines du Nord chose this fiber to ensure natural softness, superior thermoregulation, and long-lasting durability without compromising on quality. GOTS and ICEA certification confirms adherence to environmental and social standards throughout the entire production chain.

The single-ply structure (a single, non-twisted strand) is a deliberate technical choice: it allows the multicolor palette to express itself without interruption, ensures superior stitch definition compared to twisted yarns, and speeds up the work. The result is a soft, elastic fabric with a natural drape, ideal for oversized garments that need to maintain their shape without being heavy.

📦 Format and Yardage

Each 100g ball offers approximately 80 meters of yarn. With just one ball, you can make an adult hat or a short scarf. For an oversized sweater size M, you will need approximately 6-10 balls (600-1000g total) depending on the design, length, and stitch chosen. The actual yield depends on your individual tension and gauge: with 6-7mm needles, you get approximately 8 stitches per 10cm.

For projects that require multiple balls, purchasing the entire quantity in one order ensures color lot uniformity. Multicolor variations may have slight chromatic differences between different batches: it is best to be safe with a complete purchase. If you are unsure about the quantity needed, contact customer service before placing your order.

🧶 Recommended Usage

6-7mm needles are the ideal size for this yarn because they produce a fabric that is soft yet compact, with optimal stitch definition. Smaller needles (5mm) would make the work too stiff and slow, while larger needles (8mm) would create a fabric that is too open and lacks structure. The 6-7mm size is the perfect compromise between speed of work and quality of the final result.

A 6-7mm crochet hook also works very well with YOUNG AND TRENDY, especially for bags, blankets, and accessories where more structure is needed. The roving-like texture slides easily on the hook without splitting the yarn. For beginners: start with simple stitches (stockinette, garter, single crochet) to showcase the multicolor effect without overcomplicating the process.

✨ Why choose YOUNG AND TRENDY Wool

Compared to other super bulky multicolor yarns on the market, YOUNG AND TRENDY stands out for its single-ply structure, which ensures superior stitch definition and a more natural drape. Many bulky yarns are twisted or synthetic: this is 100% pure wool, with all the benefits of thermoregulation, breathability, and comfort that only a natural fiber can offer. The mulesing-free choice is not just a detail: it is a concrete commitment to animal welfare.

In daily life, a sweater made with YOUNG AND TRENDY is immediately noticeable: the vibrant colors do not fade after the first wash, the softness remains unchanged over time, and the garment holds its shape without stretching out. This is a yarn that truly delivers, not just while you're knitting it, but even after months of use.

🎨 What you can make

YOUNG AND TRENDY is perfect for oversized sweaters and cardigans with a contemporary look, but it also works great for winter accessories such as hats, scarves, gloves, and cowls. The roving-like texture and multicolor palette enhance even the simplest stitches, making every project unique without the need for complex techniques.

👩‍🎨 Who it's for

This yarn is ideal for beginners thanks to the bulky needles (6-7mm) that make the work fast and rewarding. The soft texture slides easily without splitting, and the single-ply structure allows you to see the result of your chosen stitch immediately. Even those with little experience can create impressive garments in just a few hours of work.

Typical customers: hobbyists looking for fast, colorful projects, artisans selling handmade items on Etsy or at markets, and those gifting handmade accessories with personality. YOUNG AND TRENDY works well for commissioned work, too: the fast results and vibrant colors are very popular with end clients.
