Ylva

Ylva is a beautifully rustic yarn ethically sourced and naturally dyed with carefrom 100% German wool. Wool for Ylva is collected from small farms in Northern and Eastern Germany, then spun and plant-dyed in Hessia. The dyehouse rigorously tests each batch for colorfastness, ensuring the yarn’s beauty lasts for years to come. By choosing Ylva, you’re directly supporting small-scale German shepherds and fair trade practices.

Ylva has a rustic hand that softens and blooms beautifully after washing, making it a great choice for long-wearing garments, textured stitch patterns, brioche, and colorwork.

Note on Colors:
204 Madder Red) and 1101 Reseda Yellow are richly saturated and may bleed. We recommend pre-washing these shades in a delicates bag on a cold, gentle cycle using a wool-safe detergent. Indigo shades 1403 and 1406 may rub off during knitting but won’t continue to bleed after blocking. Soap and water easily remove any residue.

As with all plant-dyed yarns, avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure to prevent fading. For this reason, Ylva should not be displayed in shop windows or strong light for extended periods.
