Bare Naked Wools: Where We Love to Knit Naked!

So, Do You Really Knit Naked?

Well… yes. Kind of. 
At Bare Naked Wools, “naked” means natural—our yarns are free from dyes, superwash treatments, and unnecessary processing. What you get is fiber in its purest form, full of texture, personality, and coziness.

We source our yarns from heritage sheep breeds, small farms, and mills we trust, and our entire collection celebrates the beauty of wool just as nature intended.

P.S. Our cheeky “Knit Naked” tote bag is kind of famous—pick one up while you're her

Meet the Creative Force Behind It All

Our founder, Anne Hanson, is the brilliant designer behind Knitspot, and she's created over 600 patterns that perfectly pair with our yarns. From lightweight shawls to heirloom-quality sweaters, there’s no shortage of project inspiration when you visit.
