Rauma - Fivel

Fivel from Rauma is a double-twisted worsted yarn made from Norwegian sheep's wool. The spinning method and the high-quality fibers give the yarn a very airy and light structure, which leads to special wearing characteristics. This yarn warms particularly well thanks to the many air pockets. At the same time, the garments remain very light.

Knitwear made from this yarn is warm and breathable even when damp and is therefore particularly suitable for hiking clothing or other everyday activities. At the same time, Fivel is characterized above all by good durability, wear resistance and elasticity. Spun as a carded yarn, the wool offers an ideal balance between functionality and comfort. The result is light, airy and comfortable garments with a long service life. Who wouldn't want to climb to the summit on their next hike in a hand-knitted sweater without having to get dressed and undressed because of sweating or freezing?

The feel of the yarn is robust, but not scratchy, and becomes softer with every wash. Of course, the fibers of Norwegian sheep, which defy the weather all year round, cannot be compared with the butter-soft fibers of merino sheep from more southerly climes, but sometimes that is not necessary.
Fivel is a versatile knitting yarn that is suitable for smooth knitting as well as for color and textured knitting. It is also ideal for felting.

Responsibility

Fivel is produced in a factory in the beautiful Romsdalen valley. Here, the yarn is carded, twisted, spun, washed, dyed and knitted from 100% Norwegian wool. Norwegian wool is one of the most environmentally friendly fibers in the world. The sheep are kept in their natural environment in Norway and their wool is processed on site. The environmental concept of this beautiful yarn therefore goes far beyond the term "sustainability". All Rauma yarns also carry the Nordic Ecolabel, the "Nordic Swan".
