Tukuwool Fingering

In August 2023, we welcomed a brand new era of knitting with the launch of Tukuwool Fingering, a renewed Finnish wool yarn. This yarn has undergone a transformation that has left us truly excited, and we couldn’t wait to share it with you! (Finnish text below).

The most notable changes are new labels and the skein size, now coming in a generous 100 grams per skein, double the previous size. Alongside this, we made a slight adjustment to the meterage, now 370 meters per 100 gram. These changes weren’t just for aesthetics; they were about efficiency and sustainability. We wanted to create a yarn that not only looks and feels great but is also produced with minimal waste.

The result? A yarn that is not only more sustainable but also boasts a consistent quality and a texture that feels natural yet softer than before.

Now, you might be wondering if these changes will affect your knitting projects. The answer is a reassuring “no.” The shift in meterage subtly influences the gauge for Tukuwool Fingering, but it’s so slight that your trusty old knitting patterns will work seamlessly with the updated yarn.

But that’s not all! We’ve also taken the opportunity to breathe new life into Tukuwool Fingering color palette. Alongside the beloved classics, we’ve introduced a few trendy, fresh shades that are sure to inspire your creativity.

And here’s the best part: our commitment to knitting enthusiasts goes beyond just yarn. Earlier this year, we embarked on the journey of designing a basic knitting pattern collection for Tukuwool. These patterns are not only easy to follow but also designed to keep your interest piqued as you create something truly unique. What’s even better? They’re absolutely free! 

Our first gift to you is the “Juntu” basic sweater pattern—a stunning raglan-sleeved sweater originally designed for Tukuwool DK yarn. And now, we’re thrilled to introduce “Juntu Light,” a thinner version of the sweater designed for the renewed Tukuwool Fingering. You can find these Tukuwool basic collection patterns free of charge on our online store, titityy.fi, or on Ravelry, available in both Finnish and English. Designed to be the perfect canvas for your knitting dreams, we welcome you to join us and cast on a sweater with your own color palette, reflecting your unique style and creativity.

Stay tuned for more knitting magic as we prepare to release more patterns including a cardigan pattern for Tukuwool Fingering later this year. We believe that knitting is not just a craft; it’s a journey, and a way to express your unique style. Join us in appreciating the new Tukuwool Fingering and the wonderful possibilities it offers.
