With Gilitrutt, Hélène Magnússon has created a unique Icelandic yarn made from soft 100% Icelandic lambswool. It is spun from nonwovens, which Hélène selects and sorts individually by hand after the first shearing of the Icelandic lambs. The carefully crafted result is Icelandic lambswool yarn of unparalleled softness and delicacy. The yarn is spun into two threads and thus gains elasticity.

Despite its delicacy, it has the lightness and warmth expected from Icelandic wool yarn.

This versatile yarn can be knitted with a variety of needle sizes and is suitable for lightweight sweaters, as well as scarves and mittens, and even baby clothes.
