    • The wool Tukuwool uses is primarily from Finnish Landrace sheep, with some shades — namely the gray bases — containing rare Kainuu Grey wool. Both are native Finnish breeds with distinct qualities.
    • The shine of Finnish Landrace wool is exceptional, its curl is alive, and its texture is soft, almost silky. At its best, it rivals Merino in softness and shine while maintaining its Finnish character: honest, strong, and warm. The Kainuu Grey, on the other hand, adds loft, bounce, and a luminous, broad crimp. It felts easily, something often a valued feature in sweaters and accessories. Together, these two types of wool create yarn with a beautiful structure.
    • Finnish wool’s natural color range is also part of its charm: white, brown, gray and black fleeces can be blended or used as-is. These shades add depth and richness before the yarn is even dyed.
    • Two shades of Tukuwool DK are undyed and created by blending together natural shades of sheep's wool: 01 Sake and 03 Auri. 
    • The heathered shades of Tukuwool DK (marked with an "H" in their color name) are overdyed on Auri, the natural blend of Finnsheep and Kainuu Grey wools, to give the colors a superb depth.
