Our Favourite Natural Yarn Brands!

Here at LKHQ we love how natural fibres can bring a touch of luxury to our knits! It’s always a lovely feeling knowing the exact origins of the wool in your handmade project, especially when hours and hours of hard work and love have gone into it. Not only this, but natural fibres are much better for our planet, meaning we could still be knitting with these gorgeous materials for millennia to come.
