We are so excited to present our big news! Svensk Ull (Swedish Wool) is a rustic 3-ply wool yarn that you can knit both small and large projects with. Did you know that over a thousand tons of Swedish wool are burned or discarded each year? We want to change that. Being able to use our own local raw material and showcasing how beautiful and useful Swedish wool yarn is feels both rewarding and important. The wool in the yarn comes from Swedish sheep farms in Skåne and Halland and is spun by Klippan Yllefabrik outside Riga for Järbo. Using Swedish wool in large-scale production is not entirely straightforward. Everything from shearing and sorting to spinning the wool is currently done on a very small scale. Our hope is that our initiative will encourage both sheep farmers and spinners to invest in our beautiful wool! All shades, except for the natural white, are dyed on a base of grey Gotland wool, which creates vibrant and exciting color variations in the yarn. We are particularly proud of the color palette – our goal is for each color to both stand alone and be able to be matched with other colors. The idea behind the collection was to bring Swedish wool into the future by creating stylish garments where the rustic and traditional are combined with a more contemporary design language. The hope is that the garments will appeal to many – not least because they are easy to knit and crochet. Patterns in the booklet
