The wool is sorted out from the sheep of the local farmers, selecting the kinds of wool according the desired textiles that the yarn will be more adecuated for.

Lofoten islands The use of local wool from old sheep breeds that are adapted to the climate and landscape as a way of preserving animals that pre-date industrialized production, makes customers feel more connected with the culture and the land. Both the tourists who look for an exclusive, locally made and usable souvenir, and the people who buy the yarn to craft their clothes look for the feeling of doing something good for the planet and the local economy. The branding of the wool also refers to elements of cultural interest in the area using suggestive names and photographs. In this case, the name of the yarn refers to the local heather that grows in abundance on the Norwegian Coasts. The European species of the Cochineal has been used for coloring wool yarn for centuries, as far back as the Viking Age (800-1150 AD). Small production Rebeca Franco Valle TEXT
