Nappa

Wool from own sheep on a larger scale has been used in Scandinavia since the Bronze Age. Exactly where the wool and textiles that reached Scandinavia came from cannot be said with certainty. Theories that it was imported from the Alps, or from today’s Hungary.

The oldest Scandinavian method of preserving wool is to pick it, pick or comb it from the sheep’s fur. Nappa means pick in Swedish. The method can only be used on species that naturally shed their winter wool. The wool is prepared by combing or carding, before it is spun into yarn or felted.’

Our blanket was named Nappa, in honor of sustainable wool manufacturing and its artisanal traditions.

SKARGAARDEN OBJECTS is about art, artisans, crafts and producing in the most environmentally friendly way with sustainable materials found in our producers’ immediate area. And with a timeless design and not trends and colors that become outdated. We have always maintained that sustainability is about products that last, both in terms of design and that they are manufactured in such a high quality that they can be inherited by future generations.
