【Wire introduction】
Nord，是Raincloud & Sage 自家開發的 Sport weight 線材，以德國美麗諾及Ostfriesisches Milchschaf毛紡 (woollen- spun) 而成，主理人Ruth 以植物染為靈感，調配了5款飽和又溫暖的顏色。
Nord 有著羊毛原始質樸的樣貌，手感相對堅韌、粗䊯，且較無彈性，推薦編織襪子、手套、毛帽、玩偶等小物，或搭配1股毛海作Brioche stitch，織紋非常立體、蓬鬆、富有空氣感！也很適合配色 (colorwork) 編織，洗後衣物呈現自然的挺度及空氣感！
* 編織時請勿過度拉扯及多次拆除，線材容易失去彈性而變得脆弱易斷裂，尤其是經常處於摩擦狀態的襪子，編織時應更加注意！

【Brand Story】
Raincloud & Sage is a very, very small personal brand and the first yarn brand we have partnered with, for a small business committed to sustainability, transparency, diversity/inclusion and social ethics.
Raincloud & Sage was originally the founder Ruth's personal blog, as a Canada, she lived with her husband in Marburg, Germany, in the spring of 2017, she started a different life - learning spinning, and she was originally a fiber artist, so she decided to develop her own wool brand, from learning hand-spinning and hand-dyeing thread, to starting to collect small-scale farmers' wool from surrounding farmers, and finding textile mills and dyeing workshops by herself. In the past 5 years, we have successively developed several types of wires based on sustainable development. After years of experimentation and growth, R&S has grown into a small social enterprise committed to the core values of sustainable and inclusive development, non-discrimination, openness and transparency, and social welfare.
R&S CURRENTLY DEVELOPS 5 DIFFERENT TYPES OF WOOL THREADS, EACH OF WHICH IS PRODUCED LOCALLY, IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND SUSTAINABLE WAY OF PRODUCING YARNS THAT ARE NON-ULTRA-WASHABLE, NYLON-FREE, BIODEGRADABLE, AND SO ON, RESPECTING THE PEOPLE AND ANIMALS INVOLVED IN THE PRODUCTION PROCESS.
Because of the small scale of Raincloud & Sage, coupled with the balance between mom and career, it is difficult for R&S cables to supply all year round, and many commercial brands are surrounded by strong competitors, so it is very admirable to survive and maintain enthusiasm!
For Lucid Islet Knit, the wire is not only the wire itself, but also the birth of a wire that contains the efforts of countless people and the source of the material itself - animals, and the value of the wire comes from the moving story behind it, looking forward to you to experience the beautiful world of wire and weaving.
