Instead of nylon, Vandre uses the long, durable fibers of the Norwegian spælsau sheep, whose robust guard hairs add natural reinforcement to the yarn.

Rauma Vandre is a sport-weight yarn made from 100% Norwegian wool, meant to be knit into dense, resilient fabrics ideal for socks and outdoor garments that need strength and warmth while still being 100% wool.
Rauma Vandre yarn is aptly named with the Norwegian word for hiking. This yarn consists of 100% Norwegian wool, of which 50% is from the Spælsau sheep breed. The long fibers from the spelled sheep make Vandre a durable yarn. Therefore, Vandre is particularly suitable for socks, hiking clothes, and workwear.
Care Instructions from Rauma: Garments knitted in Vandre should be machine washed before use. This helps the fibers to "settle", which increases the wear resistance and makes the garment more dirt-repellent. In addition, the garment becomes softer and more fluffy! Lay items flat to air dry. Items knit with this yarn are not dryer safe.
Yarn Requirements:
Children's socks will generally need 100g
Women's socks will generally need 150g
Men's socks will generally need 200g in a solid color.
Anklet socks would use less and generally should call for 100g.
Please Note: Rauma Vandre is a heavier-weight sock yarn, so these are general guidelines for yarn requirements. Always check your pattern's recommended yardage to ensure you have enough yarn.
