  • Yarn Description

    The wool Tukuwool uses is primarily from Finnish Landrace sheep, with some shades — namely the gray bases — containing rare Kainuu Grey wool. Both are native Finnish breeds with distinct qualities.

    The shine of Finnish Landrace wool is exceptional, its curl is alive, and its texture is soft, almost silky. At its best, it rivals Merino in softness and shine while maintaining its Finnish character: honest, strong, and warm. The Kainuu Grey, on the other hand, adds loft, bounce, and a luminous, broad crimp. It felts easily, something often a valued feature in sweaters and accessories. Together, these two types of wool create yarn with a beautiful structure.

    Finnish wool’s natural color range is also part of its charm: white, brown, gray and black fleeces can be blended or used as-is. These shades add depth and richness before the yarn is even dyed. Tukuwool shades are dyed on both natural white (Sake) and gray (Auri) bases — the latter are marked with an “H” in the color name. Shades that include Kainuu Grey wool stand out with their soft glow, especially in darker or deeper hues.

    Several shades of Tukuwool Fingering are undyed and created by blending together natural shades of sheep's wool: 01 Sake, 02 Humu, 03 Auri, 04 Rae, 07 Mantu, and 08 Runo. These are indicated with an asterisk (*).
