TRESKO – 80% norwegian wool and 20% nylon

Tresko is a soft, durable utility yarn reinforced with nylon. This makes it ideal for socks and slippers that need to withstand a bit of wear and tear. A pattern for stockings is printed on the inside of the banderol. Tresko is a woollen yarn, and the wool is 100% Norwegian. Everything from the washing of the wool to the winding of the yarn is done at our factory at Foss Eikeland in Sandnes.

Garments made of Norwegian wool are light, warm and grow softer every time you wear them. Norwegian wool is durable and pill-resistant, and its superior resilience ensures that garments keep their shape over time.  Be kind to the environment! Wool is breathable and rarely needs washing. Instead, we recommend airing your wool garments. Garments made of Norwegian wool have a long lifespan and can remain just as beautiful for several generations. As a result, Norwegian wool can contribute to more sustainable consumption. Woollen yarn is well-suited to felting.

For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
