Nordisk Garn – Your online shop for high-quality wool from Scandinavia

Natural. Nordic. Nordic Yarn. It's us

We are Nordisk Garn – the online store for Scandinavian yarns, knitting accessories and patterns. We are passionate about wool as it has been processed in Iceland and Norway for generations: natural, functional and durable. Our range includes selected yarns from the brands Ístex, Hillesvåg and Rauma. These manufacturers stand for high-quality natural fibers, transparent production and a clear, Nordic design language – characteristics that make the difference for us. We have products for everyone who appreciates quality, origin and honest materials when they knit or crochet.

Why wool is our passion

For us, wool is more than just a material. It plays a central role in our everyday lives – and is perfect for harsh temperatures. The curly fiber structure has a insulating and temperature regulating effect. It stores heat without overheating and absorbs moisture without feeling damp. Properties that are particularly beneficial in changeable weather and during physical activity. In rural areas like ours, sheep's wool has always been a natural part of clothing – and that hasn't changed to this day. We also wear it every day – whether we're walking the dog or working in the garden. It is precisely this suitability for everyday use that is reflected in our range: wool that looks good and is practical at the same time. In addition to the wool itself, we also offer matching knitting instructions, knitting kits and accessories. Our goal is to make durable, high-quality materials with a clear origin accessible – without compromising on function or design.

Our product range – an overview of all types of wool

Not all wool is the same. And that's what we love about it.

Istex is one of the most popular wool brands in our range. We have a large selection of the original Lopi yarns from Iceland, including Léttlopi, Álafosslopi and PlötulopiThe wool comes from Icelandic sheep, whose fibers are particularly good at insulating and regulating moisture. The two-part structure – a fine underwool and a water-repellent outer fiber – makes Istex wool ideal for warm, durable knitwear.
