100% Texel wool

The wool in this knitting kit comes from sheep raised on Texel. At Skéépe, we work with Texel wool sourced from local farmers and give this natural material a new purpose by creating products that retain the wool’s authentic character.

Our knitting yarn is made from 100% pure new wool from Texel sheep. It is spun into a sturdy, distinctive yarn in which the wool’s natural texture remains clearly visible and tangible. This means you are not simply knitting a wool sweater, but a fisherman’s sweater made from wool with a clearly identifiable origin: Texel.
