Nutiden in Raspberry Pink is an unspun Swedish wool from Höner och Eir, a small independent mill producing lanolin-rich, minimally processed wool fibre. Made from 100% Swedish wool, gently washed and entirely free of bleach, spin oils, or chemical additives, this unspun yarn has a naturally earthy softness and carries real warmth relative to its weight. Each 100 g plate holds approximately 530 m / 580 yds, making it well-suited to sweaters and layering pieces.
Available from a designer's studio destash, these plates can be purchased individually or in sweater quantities of 490 g or more. The warm, saturated raspberry tone works beautifully in double-stranded raglans like the Chloe Sweater or the beginner-friendly Wayfarer Raglan, in textured cable designs such as the Oakwood Raglan or Before Fall Sweater, and in stranded colourwork — from introductory patterns to fully worked colourwork sweaters like the Heritage Sweater. Knitters wishing to try Nutiden single-stranded, or blended with a silk mohair or laceweight yarn, will find this colourway especially rewarding for its vibrancy and depth.
Nutiden unspun wool is best hand-washed with care, and adding a small amount of vinegar to the first rinse helps set the fibres. Pigmented shades like Raspberry Pink may release a little colour in the first wash — a natural characteristic of minimally processed, lanolin-rich unspun wool. Plate weights vary slightly; exact grams are listed per item variant.
