Turin Glean (glen) ~ Wool/Silk/Ramie yarn dyed with organic sage & organic birch leaves
Turin has been an old time favourite in our collection. This magical yarn effortlessly transforms into durable socks or luxurious clothing. The yarn is soft, light and has a gorgeous sheen. The added Ramie (processed nettle) and silk content, gives this yarn the needed strength for long lasting socks, sweaters and other garments. As you can see an absolute all rounder!
Turin is made from 60% pure wool, 20% mulberry silk and 20% Ramie. The wool comes from South America, the ramie fibre and mulberry silk is imported from China and the final yarn is spun in Czechia, Europe.
Once done, we apply the final colour touch, using only sustainable, no impact dyeing methods and organic ingredients. Turin is a joy to dye and it has a beautiful saturated, yet semi solid colour uptake.
