Care Instructions from Rauma: Garments knitted in Vandre should be machine washed before use. This helps the fibers to settle, which increases the wear resistance and makes the garment more dirt-repellent. In addition, the garment becomes softer and more fluffy! Lay items flat to air dry. Items knit with this yarn are not dryer safe.
Yarn Requirements:

Rauma yarn has been spun since 1927 in Norway. The town of Veblungsnes in Møre og Romsdalis is located in fjord country on the Rauma River on the west coast of Norway.
The company started with 3 employees and continued to develop over the years. The textile factory was completely destroyed by bombing during WWII at which time a new factory was immediately erected. The factory and company was completely overhauled in the 1970's.
Please remember that every effort is taken to represent the true colors of the yarn and that monitor settings will vary.
