ONA (SHE, in Slovak) is one of the first Slovak local sheep wool yarns to return to the market. It is flexible, very durable, almost universal and of course warm and healthy :-)

Suffolk breed specific wool, which lends its durability and fluffiness to the yarn, is blended with 5% of Wallachian, which in turn supports its strength. You will not see pills here any time soon.

As a “golden middle” among different types of wool, it is perfect for outerwear: vests, sweaters, socks and gloves. The more resilient customers (skin-sensitivity-wise) will easily tolerate a scarf, hat or turtleneck, and those sensitive ones can always use it well for bags, slippers or home textile accessories.

Woolen yarn made of local Slovak wool is very rare today. It has disappeared from our market in recent decades, and is now celebrating its return. ONA is the name of our first wool yarn, which we are bringing to the market, and which you will find it in selected yarn stores. It is all being processed and spun in Slovakia and hand-caked and tagged by ourselves.

We offer ONA in its natural color as well as hand - dyed in 7 beautiful colors:

Ink
Rust
Mustard
Leaves
Powder
Canvas
Fog
