Järbo Pattern Booklet Swedish Wool

We are so happy to present our big news! Svensk Ull is a rustic 3-ply wool yarn that you can knit both small and large projects with. Did you know that over a thousand tons of Swedish wool are burned or thrown away every year? We want to change that.

Being able to use our own local raw material and show how beautiful and useful Swedish wool yarn is feels both fun and important.

The wool in the yarn comes from Swedish sheep farms in Skåne and Halland and is spun by Klippan Yllefabrik outside Riga for Järbo.

Using Swedish wool in large-scale production is not easy. Everything from the shearing and sorting to spinning the wool is done on a very small scale today. Our hope is that our initiative will encourage both sheep farmers and spinning mills to dare to invest in our fine wool!

All shades other than the natural white are dyed on a base of grey Gotland wool, which gives lively and exciting color variations in the yarn. We are extra proud of the color palette ? our goal is for each color to speak for itself as well as be able to match the other colors.

The idea with the collection was to take Swedish wool into the future, by creating stylish garments where the rustic and traditional are combined with a more contemporary design language. The hope is that the garments will appeal to many - not least because they are easy to knit and crochet.
