RIIHIVILLA - NATURAL COLORS

Welcome to my world of natural dyes and Finnsheep wool.

Riihivilla is a small family business selling 100% Finnsheep wool in natural colors of the sheep and in colors hand-dyed with plants and mushrooms.
In my blog you can read how the colors of Riihivilla yarns are created, and other interesting things I do. In my shop you can see all the yarns I have, and wonderful kits for our own Finnish traditional style mittens. Our new online shop opened in Dec 2009, I am sorry about the inconvenience of all customers having to register again, but I hope you will enjoy the new and better shop!
Please read about shipping and payment options.
I hope you enjoy my yarns and colors.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!

WELCOME TO  SHOPPING AT THE MARKET KAUPPATORI IN HELSINKI!
You can see the market days in my blog.

"Our colors come from nature. In the top picture you can see the final product - yarns dyed with plants and mushrooms ready to be sold at the Marketplace in Helsinki. In the left bottom picture there is flowering tansy, it gives yellows and greens to our yarn. In the right bottom picture there is Red-gilled webcap, Cortinarius semi-sanguineus. Abundant in Finland it is one of the best mushrooms for dyeing wool orange or red.."
