Welcome to Isokumpu

Founded in 2018, Isokummun Kehräämö Oy is a Finnish family-owned company specializing in the further processing of wool. At the Isokumpu organic sheep farm, original Finnish sheep breeds and Kainuu Grey sheep, including their rare bloodlines, are raised. The farm has been in the same family for five generations.

​

Isokummun Luomu Oy is the farm located in Sievi, Northern Ostrobothnia. Isokummun Kehräämö Oy operates in Eskola, Central Ostrobothnia, just a few kilometers from the farm.

​

At Isokumpu, the entire process from wool to yarn is carried out almost entirely carbon-free and self-sufficiently. Sheep farming, shearing, wool sorting, washing, dyeing, drying, spinning, skeining, and finally, retailing to the consumer all take place on-site. In addition, wool waste has been minimized.

​

OUR YARN IS:

​

• 100% Finnish-made

• 100% wool

• Ethical and ecological

• Produced without harmful spinning oils or the Eulan treatment (insect repellent banned in many countries)

• Spun using water and steam, preserving the natural properties of the delicate fibers. As a result, it does not itch or irritate the skin like industrially overprocessed and treated wool.

• Dyed with heavy-metal-free Greener Shades dyes, which we exclusively distribute in Finland: http://gs.stillrivermill.com/

Safety Data Sheet here

• Particularly soft and dust-free due to its lanolin content and spinning method

• Consistent in quality

• To avoid yarn waste, our skeins are knot-free and come in various sizes, making them suitable for knitting machines.

​

We use international standards for wool shearing and sorting, and the classification of Finnish wool is certified by laboratory research from Wool Testing Authority Europe LTD.
