Naturally Sustainable
Our Shetland Wool is non-superwash and non-mulesed, with no plastic-based treatments. It meets OEKO-TEX® and REACH standards and is fully biodegradable, making it as kind to the earth as it is to your hands.

Knoll Yarns, the maker of Holst Garn’s Supersoft, is also behind our new 100% Shetland wool—so you’ll recognize the same rich colors and trusted quality.

Shetland Wool is slightly more robust than Supersoft, but still offers the same beautiful palette—dyed by the same expert team and compliant with OEKO-TEX® and REACH standards.

Note: Knoll Shetland Wool contains a bit of spinning oil and excess dye. The oil and excess dye will disappear at the first wash - and the yarn will blossom and become extremely soft.

You can use a washing machine - on a cold delicate wool program.
