Hillesvåg Ask

Founded in 1898, Hillesvåg woolen factory is a family-owned spinning mill that has been providing fiber artists with yarn for over 125 years.  Located in Hjelmås, Norway, the mill produces authentic yarns spun with Norwegian wool.  Renowned for warmth & durability, Norwegian wool is durable & resilient.  In addition, it is resistant to pilling & offers thermoregulating properties.

Wool lovers adore the heritage hand of Ask.  Spun into a versatile sport weight, the Norwegian wool used for this yarn offers durability, warmth & resistance to pilling.  Breathable, yet insulating, the yarn is ideal for garments & accessories that may be worn almost all year!

Ideal for stranded colorwork, cables & textured stitch patterns, Ask’s 2-ply twist delivers beautiful stitch definition.  Light, with a bit of loft, this yarn gets better & better with wash & wear.

The yarn is available in over 100 solid & heathered colorways.  Ask is great for beginner colorwork & Scandinavian sweater classes.
