Chemical detergents are not used for wool washing - only filtered pond water and common salt. Chemical detergents destroys valuable wool contained lanolin. Washing by old methods allows to preserve the maximum of lanolin, up to 70%. Lanolin is providing wool warming and healing properties. It guarantees that your knitted socks and mittens will be very warm and will protect your legs and hands from bad weather conditions.
The yarn produced in Dundaga's Wool factory is very colorful. Lately the most popular is a multicolored yarn with long color transitions. Up to 19 color tones can be counted in one skein.
