Novita Majakkasaari (Lighthouse Island)

Novita Majakkasaari is the newest addition to the highly popular Moomin x Novita yarn family. Majakkasaari is a part of the #oursea campaign. €0.10 from each ball will be donated by Novita to John Nurminen Foundation to help protect the Baltic Sea and its vibrant culture.

The colours are inspired by Tove Jansson’s maritime Moomin illustrations. Majakkasaari is a multicoloured, 4-ply DK weight yarn that gives you a pattern of even stripes. The yarn is ideal for sock and many different types of adult and children’s knitwear. A special Moomin pattern collection has been designed specifically for Moomin X Novita and it matches perfectly with solid colour Moomin yarns.  75% wool and 25% polyamide.

A women’s size M top requires approx. 550 g of yarn and one ball is sufficient for a pair of basic women’s socks. The products are machine washable at 40 degrees. The recommended needle size is 4, or 3.5 for socks. A 100 g ball has 225 metres of yarn. Made in Finland.
