Majakkasaari, Sock Yarn, Novita | Sock Yarn

Novita Majakkasaari is the newest addition to the highly popular Moomin x Novita yarn family. Majakkasaari is a part of the #oursea campaign. For each ball sold, €0.10 will be donated to John Nurminen Foundation to help protect the Baltic Sea and its vibrant culture. The colours are inspired by Tove Jansson’s maritime Moomin illustrations. Majakkasaari is a multicoloured, 4-ply DK weight yarn that gives you a pattern of even stripes. The yarn is ideal for sock and many different types of adult and children’s knitwear. A special Moomin pattern collection has been designed specifically for Moomin X Novita and it matches perfectly with solid colour Moomin yarns.  75% wool and 25% polyamide.
