Tukuwool Hakamaa DK is a local Finnish yarn at its best - Finnish Kainuu Grey - Rygja crossbreed wool comes from a specific farm in Middle Finland, and the yarn is entirely made in Finland. DK weight two-ply wool yarn is best for sweaters, mittens and accessories. The wool comes from a sheep farm in Petäjävesi, Middle Finland, and is washed and spinned in Virrat. Maija, the owner of the farm, takes pride on raising sheep for their wool especially.

Hakamaa farm values every sheep and the animals are treated as well as the employees of the farm. When the sheep are well, they produce high quality wool. The crossbreed of Kainuu Grey and Rygja is soft yet durable and and wool comes in many different shades of grey - as well as natural white.

The wool is washed with wool detergent and spun, then plied. There are no additional chemical treatments in this undyed wool. The yarn has some lanolin left in it and feels soft and natural. Tukuwool Hakamaa yarns are an ethical and ecological choice.
