Care
Wet-Blocking Care Instructions
Your project isn’t truly complete until it’s had its first wash! Here’s how to help our yarns reach their full potential:
- Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
- Add a small amount of no-rinse wool wash.
- Submerge your knitted item, gently squeezing out any air bubbles to ensure it stays fully underwater.
- Soak for up to 10 minutes. While our dyes are tested for colorfastness, some dyes are notoriously difficult to set and may release a small amount of excess color. Using cold water, gentle wool wash, and a short soak will help prevent color redeposit on light-colored fibers.
- Drain the water.
- Gently lift your knitted item from the water and remove excess moisture by rolling it between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
- Lay flat and shape to air dry.
For projects with contrasting colors, we recommend steam blocking to avoid any color transfer.
Real Wool, Naturally Beautiful
We believe in the authenticity of wool. Our yarns are crafted from 100% wool, with no superwash treatments, preserving the natural characteristics that make each skein unique. Enjoy the feel of real wool that’s soft, durable, and environmentally friendly.

I bought 2 skeins to see what it was like and to possibly make a shawl. When I received it, I fell in love with it! It has such a pretty luster to it. I loved it so much that I changed my plans and just ordered more to make a sweater!
Was so excited to see this Gotland blend be offered by one of my favorite suppliers! I set an alarm for the 10 am ET reveal, placed my order, and this lovely yarn showed up at my house in NJ only 2 days later! Will be casting on shortly for a lightweight summer tee! Thsnk you Junction Fiber Mill for your superb customer service and support!
The yarn is lovely in the hand and color is so soft
Mildly obsessed with Gotland yarn after picking up some gorgeous yarn on vacation in Stockholm, so I was really excited to see my favorite domestic mill processing some! After receiving it and seeing that it somehow hadn’t sold out, I bought more. XD
Lovely stuff. I can't wait to knit it into a shawl.
