Sol

Hillesvåg Sol yarn is a fantastic type of yarn

The yarn is spun from Norwegian wool C1 Fine, 28 microns. This means that only the finest fibers from Norwegian white sheep can be used in the production of Sol wool yarn. The wool is Swan-labelled and has a fantastic pile and elasticity. This makes this fiber suitable for airy, soft and light carding yarns.

Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk has placed an increased environmental focus on the use of dyes in our production. We mark this by using only GOTS-approved dyes in our color range for Sol. GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) requires dyes to be biodegradable and non-toxic. The finished product must not contain allergens or residues of dangerous chemicals. GOTS-approved dye is allowed in organic production of yarn and textiles.

In addition to being of good quality, the wool is also environmentally friendly. It is manufactured in Hillesvågen, which is half an hour's drive north of Bergen in Norway. You are therefore not only buying a beautiful product, but also an environmentally friendly product, as it is manufactured as climate-friendly as possible. Hillesvåg yarn is therefore both good quality and climate-friendly, and it is therefore a good type of yarn to use for various projects where you need some yarn that is soft and nice to have close to the skin, while at the same time you can think that it is an environmentally friendly type of yarn.

It is pleasant, and you can spend many hours on your project, thereby achieving incredible joy when it is finished. It is therefore also becoming more and more popular, and there were many who started it during Covid-19. It is not without reason that many started knitting. So if you really want to spend many hours and go in-depth with a project, you should knit with Hillesvåg Sol yarn.

The story behind Hillevåg Sol yarn 

Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, founded in 1898, is a fourth-generation family business that produces yarn and carded wool. The factory is located in Hillesvågen, north of Bergen, and has achieved the status of Économusée, which means that visitors can experience the wool's journey from raw material to finished product. Known for its traditional and quality yarns such as Ask, Embla and Troll, Hillesvåg also produces yarn from Norsk Pelssau. The factory proudly combines craft traditions with innovation to delight old and new knitters alike. The yarn is of high quality, which is why we have chosen to offer it in our range at Nordisk Garn.
