thank you :) what a kind comment :)

Thank you for your kind comment :)

Unfortunately, we are not very good at utilising wool worldwide. Very few countries use all their wool, and it is very sad. Happy to hear that the video sparked an interest in the Faroe Islands, I would start with visiting though :D

Thank you for your comment. Navia is an excellent brand, and it is very much worth checking out.

thank you :)

Thank you for your kind comment. Luckily we are in a good place to keep the tradition alive :)

At the 14:00 minute mark, we are at Navia. Navia sells finished sweaters and patterns. I think the ones you see there are not patterns but finished designs. But you could visit navia.fo to see if you can find it on their website. Or contact them directly, they might be able to help you. Good luck :)

@@shisabrand5425 Thank you :)

If you think of using fleece to spin yourself, it is difficult to get Faroese fleece. But you could get in contact with Búnaðarstovan (bst.fo). If you are interested in a fleece like a rug, I recommend visiting this website: faroesheep.com/en/. Good luck :)

@@shisabrand5425 Thank you, yes I’m more interested in a fleece for hand spinning. Thank you for the info.:)

@@pollogmoody5746 I will keep this in mind, if I find a good way for you to buy fleece to work and spin with.

@@shisabrand5425 oh thank you so much! That would be fantastic and amazing!!!

Thank you for your kind comment. I believe that you are right. Wool is such an amazing material.

thank you :)

Thank you for your kind comment. I share my hopes with you :) It is difficult to get a hold of yarn made with Faroese wool - at the moment. But the best source will be navia.fo. Good luck.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. There sure is a difference between our wool and yours in Australia. But having grown up with our Faroese sheep roaming everywhere, I have a soft spot for them, and I love our wool - and it is especially the coarse overcoat that appeals to me - mixed with the inner layer. But yours is easier to sell, as it is that much softer - that's for sure. Good luck with the projects you are working on. As one priest told me - "at least we don't sin while we knit" :)

Thank you <3

Hi @MichelleLewis-nc8zv Thank you for your interest and your wish to support, that is amazingly kind of you <3 Yarn can be bought from the brands Navia.fo and Snældan.fo (or Faroese Wool Yarn is sold out at Snældan now). Wool itself is, unfortunately, more difficult to get a hold of. It is not possible to buy wool in smaller amounts. Another way to support the use of Faroese wool is to buy from brands that sell designs made with it. shisabrand.com uses solely Faroese Wool in all our designs. reka-studio.com/ has some designs in which they only use Faroese Wool and there is more to come from them. duritathomsen.com also has quite a lot of Faroese Wool in their designs. The same goes for einstakt.com and gudrungudrun.com. If you happen to be writing from New York, the event on Saturday, April 20th, might interest you. We are quite excited about this event at Scandinavia House, and we have shipped over plenty of designs, many of which are made with Faroese Wool: www.scandinaviahouse.org/sh/design/faroese-design-wool-knitting-screening-panel-discussion/

Thank you, appreciate you've taken the time to watch it and comment :)

Thank you for your comment. You are welcome to come and visit our country, and do bring your needles - yarn we have plenty :)

thank you :)

Thank you for your kind comment - it is very much appreciated.

Thank you so much for you positive comment, it inspires us to keep on. And the wool is grateful too :)

Thank you Nadia, I am happy to read this :) I don't think any of the farmers would sell excess fleeces for export. They will sell their wool to the wool terminal only. There, the wool is sorted into qualities, and first class wool will be separated into the different colours. And from there, packed into big bails and made ready for yarn producers. But not all wool is sold in bails, a smaller amount is sold to small producers and people who would like to experiment with the wool. It is only sorted though, not washed. I would recommend that you contact the Agricultural association (www.bst.fo/). The best person to get in contact with is Dorthea Joensen, who you also see in the documentary. I hope this was helpful :)

@@shisabrand5425 Got it. Thanks for responding.

So happy you liked it Bjoern - thank you for your comment and praise :)

Thank you for your lovely comment - and for taking the time to watch the film. It is highly appreciated.

Hi Susan :) I am not sure if the yarn is in any shops in Canada, but Navia (www.navia.fo) does ship across the world, including Canada :)

Thank you :) and for taking time to let us know that you appreciate it :)
