Navia is a versatile yarn brand from the beautiful Faroe Islands. The Faroese brand is strongly inspired by the islands' rich tradition of spinning sheep's wool into yarn and the Faroese people's eternal struggle against the elements. The brand has an extremely varied product range, which is why you can find alpaca, sock yarn, silk wool and yarn made from 100% Faroese wool on this site.
It is therefore no wonder that Navia manages to embrace a wide age group from the very young to the elderly on both a national and international level. Navia manages to combine culture and history with modern trends in yarn styles. Explore our wide selection of 11 beautiful yarns from Navia right here.
Delicious yarn with strong local roots
Navia was founded in January 2004 by owner Óli Kristian á Torkilsheyggi, a fourth generation Faroese sweater and yarn maker. When the brand started, it was a small company with only a few kroner in equity. Today, Navia has grown to become one of the leaders in the Faroese knitwear industry. Knitwear here refers to all kinds of knitted goods that belong to the Faroese tradition.
The yarn brand also focuses on drawing on local talent both in terms of production and design. The Faroese wool is therefore gathered from the islands' local farmers. In addition, a unique feature of Faroese wool is its rich lanolin content, which makes the wool yarn water-repellent.
