Vandre is a 2-thread carding yarn made of 100% Norwegian wool. Vandre is our self-produced sock yarn. Here RAUMA have not mixed in nylon, but used wool from pile sheep as reinforcement. The game sheep's long covering hair is extra robust and makes the yarn more durable.
In addition, Vandre has a lot of twine, which also helps to make the yarn durable and well suited for socks. The yarn can feel a little tired when knitting and the result a little stiff. Socks knitted in Vandre should be machine washed before use. It helps the fibers to "settle", which increases the wear resistance and makes the socks more dirt-repellent. In addition, the socks become softer and more fluffy. Wash the socks at 40 °C on a program that lasts approx. 1 hour. Use full spin.
Shape the socks while they are still wet and let them dry flat. Please note that over time there will be a need to mend most socks, especially socks in 100% natural fiber such as Vandre. We recommend making repairs as soon as you see signs of pitting for a good and long-lasting result.
