Ylva is yarn made from German wool, with a difference. Every step of the process, from sheep to plant-dyed skein, is done with sustainability in mind. Ylva was originally named Schafswolle No. 03 and while it has a new name, the quality remains the same.

The fiber is collected from small sheep farms in Northern and Eastern Germany and then plant-dyed in Austria. The dye house in Vienna thoroughly checks the yarn for color fastness, ensuring that they will stand the test of time.
With Ylva, we actively support small German sheep farms, making sure to buy the fleece from farmers at a fair price.

This is a rustic wool which makes it well suited to long-lasting garments. Ylva is a versatile yarn and is ideal for textured patterns, brioche, or colorwork. Be sure to always wash Ylva swatches as the yarn blooms considerably and becomes noticeably softer after washing.
