We welcome Rauma's newest yarn, Fivel, to The Woolly Thistle. Fivel is a worsted weight, lightly spun yarn which produces garments that are soft and airy. This woolen spun yarn is Rauma's softest wool yarn, and is particularly suitable for braids and structures. Garments knitted in Fivel become even softer after washing and are also suitable for felting. As big Rauma fans, we are really loving this yarn!

and great to knit with. I got the vibrant--make that VIBRANT pink to knit several sections of an Emotional Support Chicken for a friend, who likes pink. I'm not a pink fan, but this knit up so well I didn't mind. Shown not seamed or stuffed--easier to ship that way.

Nice yarn and great colors!
I’ve recently knit a cardigan using Fivel and have just bought another sweater’s worth of it. I found that it knit up beautifully, with plenty of stitch definition. Ravelry calls it a worsted weight, but it’s got 100 meters or 220 yards/50 grams, which I’d called a heavy DK, similar in weight to a Cascade 220—although frankly Fivel is much nicer.
