sandnes garn

The largest producer of hand-knitting yarn in Northern Europe, Sandnes Garn's mill is both one of the oldest, and most up-to-date, spinning factories still running. Their focus is on taking good care of everyone involved in the production of their yarn, both animal and human, and they produce some of the most reliable yarns available on the market today.

easy care wool

Easy care wool is yarn that is safe to wash on a cool, gentle cycle. This could be yarn that is naturally resistant to felting, or has been treated in some manner to be so. Easy care yarn is not a good choice for felting projects.

merino wool

Merino sheep create a wool with a long, smooth fibre that is lightweight, warm, and soft. Like all wool, it has excellent breathability and does an excellent job regulating temperature in garments. It is a very popular type of wool to use for hand knitting yarn, and is a great choice for socks and garments worn close to the skin.

mulesing free

Mulesing is a controversial farming practice used, predominantly in Australia, to prevent the parasidic infection flystrike. While mulesing prevents infection, it is a very painful procedure for the animal to endure, and more humane alternatives exist. This practice is banned in many areas of the world. If a yarn is marked as mulesing free, that means that no animals were treated this way during the production of the yarn.
