Novita 7 Veljestä (7 Brothers) Nummi

Novita 7 Veljestä Nummi classic Finnish tweed sock yarn for warm socks and sweaters

Novita 7 Veljestä Nummi is a classic Finnish sock yarn with a lively tweed surface that brings character to every stitch. The gently speckled colours create a natural, slightly rustic look that suits everyday hand knits as well as more modern, minimalist projects. With its sturdy yet soft structure this yarn is ideal for knitters who want reliable warmth, beautiful texture and long lasting garments made from high quality wool blend yarns available at Hollywool.eu.

The fibre blend of Novita 7 Veljestä Nummi is carefully balanced for both comfort and durability. The yarn contains 76% wool that provides warmth, elasticity and a cosy feel next to the skin, 20% polyamide that reinforces the thread and helps socks resist wear in heels and toes, and 4% viscose that creates the subtle tweed flecks. Each 100 g ball offers approximately 200 m of yarn, which is a generous length for a versatile aran and DK style sock yarn that can be used for many different knitting projects.

With a recommended needle size around 4 mm for garments and 3.5 mm for socks, Novita 7 Veljestä Nummi knits up into a firm but comfortable fabric that holds its shape well. The typical gauge is about 18 stitches per 10 cm in stockinette, which means your projects grow quickly on the needles without feeling bulky. The yarn is machine washable at 40 degrees on a gentle cycle, making it a practical choice for everyday socks, children’s clothes and knitwear that needs regular washing without losing its structure or colour.

As a true sock yarn, Novita 7 Veljestä Nummi is perfect for knitting warm, hard wearing socks for the whole family. One 100 g ball is usually enough for a pair of simple women’s socks up to approximately EU size 38, and for larger sizes you can combine two balls or mix Nummi with solid 7 Veljestä shades for creative colour blocking. The polyamide content protects against abrasion while the wool content keeps feet warm and comfortable in boots, sneakers and winter shoes throughout the colder months.

Beyond socks, this yarn is also an excellent choice for sweaters, cardigans, hats, mittens, cowls, shawls and cosy home accessories. The aran style thickness means that fewer rows are needed to reach the desired length, which is especially pleasant when working on bigger garments. The tweed effect hides small irregularities in tension, so it flatters both experienced knitters and beginners. The speckled surface adds depth to simple stitches like stockinette and ribbing, and looks beautiful in classic Nordic patterns and textured stitch motifs.

The Nummi colour range is inspired by natural landscapes and subtle heathered shades, making it easy to combine different tones within the same project. You can pair neutral colours with more vivid tweed shades to highlight cuffs, heels, yokes or borders. Because Novita 7 Veljestä Nummi belongs to the famous 7 Veljestä family, it works well together with other yarns from the same line when you want to play with stripes, blocks or contrasting details while keeping the gauge consistent across your knitting.
