When James McIntosh taught himself to knit he was struggling to find knitting accessories and patterns for the contemporary man.  So he developed his own.  A range called Knit and Nibble.  Fresh, vibrant and fun. All Knit and Nibble products are manufactured in the UK.

Similar to Opal, Schoeller & Stahl are also from Germany. Their newest range 4 ply ‘Happy’ is made up of 8 colourful shades and perfect for knitting socks (and other items!)

Austermann Step is a premium 4 ply Yarn containing Aloe Vera and Jojoba Oil available in 6 vibrant shades.

Viridian are the only distributor of Opal in the UK. Our long-standing relationship with Opal since 2004 has meant we’ve seen some incredible ranges come and go. We stock all their current ranges, including our own Viridian/Opal collaborative schafpate range. Opal were the original manufacturers of self-patterning sock yarn and practically every ball is 75% wool and 25% polyamide.

Opal’s Rainforest range returns annually and, every year, Opal donate proceeds to the Rainforest Rescue. Currently, they have donated €210,000 from accumulated sales!
