Nordic is a 100% wool yarn in DK weight, inspired by that which we associate with the Nordic countries: natural, timeless, durable, and classic. With respect for the environment and people, the yarn is completely free from fossil-based additives and treatments. This means the yarn retains warmth even when wet, is water- and dirt-repellent, and holds its shape much better than wool blends or superwash-treated wool yarns. Its simple, round structure enhances cables and textured patterns in your garments. The yarn is soft and comfortable year-round, making it ideal for sweaters, hats, mittens, and shawls. For socks, we recommend our Socki Fine, Socki, and Socki Plus yarns.
