Small-Batch Yarn From Norwegian Sheep
Small-Batch Yarn From Norwegian Sheep
Warm enough for frozen Oslo winters, Vinter Wool is an artisanal yarn made with all Norwegian wool, including fiber from Norwegian wildsheep. These wildsheep are reared the same way they have been for thousands of years, living outside year-round on the heathered moorlands of the Norwegian coast. A single, small mill in Norway washes, combs, cards, and spins the wool into yarn before hand-dyeing rich colors shaded by the natural blacks, browns, and grays of the wildsheep... A truly rare and remarkable yarn!
