Rauma Finullgarn is a beautiful, well-loved and hard-working Sport/Fingering 2ply 100% Norwegian Wool. This woolen spun yarn is wonderfully lightweight, airy, warm, and durable. This lofty yarn can really be worked-up into a wide range of gauges and comes in a huge color palette (we carry 50 colors at the shop!)
Lovely for colorwork - the colors and stitch definition really pop and bloom together blocking and it's grippy enough for a reliable steek. Also a dream for cables with a sweet balance of sturdiness and drape. The light bouncing drape also lends itself well to lace. This workhorse yarn is so fun to work with!
Norwegian wool is among the world's most environmentally friendly textile fibers. The production of Norwegian wool surpasses conventional sustainability thinking when it comes to minimizing the environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle of the production process. The wool that Rauma uses in the production of Finullgarn has the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, which was established in 1989 by the Nordic Council of Ministers as a voluntary ecolabelling scheme for the nordic countries. It is an effective tool to help companies that want to go ahead with sustainable solutions – and thereby enable consumers and professional buyers to choose the environmentally best goods and services.
Nestled among high mountains and a beautiful fjord, Rauma Ullvarefabrikk is today one of the few woolen factories that supply Norwegian woolen yarn produced in Norway (and has been doing it since 1927).
