Seacell is derived from seaweed, but you won’t smell the sea!
It is natural fibre made from crushed seaweed combined with lyocell (a fibre derived from wood pulp), making it easily biodegradable when discarded. The seaweed used is Knotted Wrack, found in Icelandic fjords. Both seacell and lyocell use an energy efficient closed-loop system to reuse water and chemicals. The final yarn contains approx. 4% seaweed.
Often combined with lustrous silk, seacell yarn is incredibly soft and smooth. It has an amazing sheen and fabulous depth of colour. The wonderful weight and drape make it perfect for a stunning lacy scarf to accessorise your outfit at a special occasion.
We stock this luxury silk and seacell yarn blend in a versatile 4ply weight called 4ply Silky Sea. The 100 gram skein contains 400 metres of stunning yarn, which can be used with any standard 4ply pattern suitable for a silk-blend yarn.
We hand dye a wide range of repeatable colourways, together with a regular selection of limited edition shades.
Take a look at our shop to see the colours currently available, or contact us if you’d like something specific.
Seacell yarn in knit and crochet kits
The drape of seacell yarn blended with silk makes it ideal for shawls and wraps. We currently have four knitting kits containing seacell yarn. Two of the kits use just one skein of the yarn, with the others using two skeins per design.
The kits are available with no extra packaging or packaged ready to gift, making them ideal knitting gifts to buy for that special knitter in your life.
The two larger kits were designed by UK knitwear designer Bronagh Miskelly, whose patterns can be regularly seen in The Knitter magazine.
All four of our beautiful seacell yarn knit kits were featured in The Knitter magazine as shown on our Press page.
