Hillesvåg Embla

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.

Spun with 100% Norwegian wool, Embla is a 3-ply, worsted weight yarn with a heritage hand.  Wool lovers will enjoy this yarn for sweaters, cardigans & accessories.  The yarn offers exceptional stitch definition for textured stitches, cables & stranded colorwork.  The wooly hand of the yarn makes it very forgiving & easy to work.  It is a nice choice for beginner stranded colorwork classes & project recommendations.

Breathable & insulating, Embla helps to keep moisture away from the body.  The yarn is available in a large array of solid & heathered colorways.
