Kauko is yarn with a northern mental landscape - natural color tones combined with an honest feel - makes Kauko a friend of all knitters. Kauko is two-ply yarn and it is Finnish wool spun here in Finland. Try knitting warm wool socks or the beautiful and graphic Bowline sweater from Veera Välimäki.

As each skein is a piece of hand-painted art, there are no identical skeins. It is recommended that for larger projects in the same color, you should knit in stripes, alternating skeins every 2 rows. Kauko doesn’t have moth protection and it’s non-superwash yarn. We recommend to air out the garment as much as possible instead of washing it.

Aara is lovely hand-dyed yarn, dyed in Finland. Aara’s colours are created with visions of like-minded friends, inspiration as well as coincidences.
