Fårö 6 Singles | Bockens

If you love richly textured wool with depth, character, and traditional Scandinavian charm, Bockens Fårö 6 Singles is a fibre you’ll reach for again and again. This classic single-ply wool yarn is spun in Sweden from high-quality fleece, offering warmth, loft, and a beautifully rustic hand that transforms into cohesive, soft cloth during finishing.

Fårö is beloved by tapestry weavers, rug makers, and hand weavers creating sturdy yet expressive textiles. Its slightly uneven, handspun-like surface brings life to woven structures, enhancing patterns, colourwork, and texture. When fulled, it blooms into a dense, warm fabric with incredible visual richness. Whether used for traditional rya techniques, tapestry weft, weft-faced textiles, or robust fabrics with heritage character, Fårö offers both durability and beauty.

This is a yarn that celebrates wool in its purest form: honest, warm, tactile, and made to last.
