Rauma Fivel yarn is a lovely 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!

The yarn is true to color in the picture online (lighting in one of the photos I took is dark). It softens when washed and is very comfortable, drapes nicely and feels light but keeps me warm. I knitted matching sweaters for my dog and myself and get compliments whenever I wear it.

Fivel is lofty, woolly, and so much fun to knit. I love this vibrant blue.

OOH Yummy!
I haven't used the yarn yet, but I know it will be nice to work with. I can tell by the feel and softness of the yarn. I'm going to make a hat when done with my other projects. At the moment is all baby items as granddaughter is expecting twin boys... :o)
