Wool yarn

Wool yarn for all your knitting projects

At KreativGarn you'll find wool yarn in many varieties. We have classic pure wool, the soft and luxurious merino wool, and blended yarns where wool is combined with other natural materials such as cotton and alpaca. Merino wool is especially loved for its silky texture, which is comfortable against the skin and therefore ideal for baby knitting and other projects where comfort is important. Iceland wool, on the other hand, is characterized by its robustness and resistance to wind and weather - ideal for knitwear that needs to withstand the elements, such as outdoor clothing and warm sweaters. We have wool yarn in many thicknesses and colors, so you can find the right type for your project - whether it's a light and airy shawl in thin lace yarn or a chunky sweater in bulky yarn.

Features and benefits of wool yarn

Wool yarn is popular for many good reasons. It's naturally insulating and keeps you warm, while being breathable and comfortable all year round. The elasticity of wool makes it easy to work with and ideal for body-hugging garments. It's also durable, so your handmade projects will last for many years. At KreativGarn , we stock high-quality wool yarn so you can make the most of all the amazing properties of wool. The advantage of wool compared to other fibers is that it can be used for both warm sweaters and underwear. The properties of wool depend on which sheep it comes from and where they live. The wool from the merino sheep is thin and very soft, whereas the wool from the Icelandic sheep is more "scratchy". However, Icelandic sheep wool becomes a lot softer after washing. In addition to knitted sweaters, Icelandic sheep wool in particular can also be used for felting.

Care and maintenance of wool yarn

To keep your wool projects beautiful and soft, it's important to care for them properly. Wool should preferably be washed in cold water with a mild detergent to avoid shrinkage and changes in shape. It's best to let it dry flat to maintain its shape. Also, remember to store your yarn in a dry place and use lavender or cedarwood to protect it from moths. With the right care, you can enjoy your wool projects for years to come.
