YARN COMPANY: HJERTEGARN
20 ago 2015
Dinamarca es un país cuya serie policíaca más reconocida tiene a su detective protagonista, Sarah Lund, siempre ataviada con un jersey de punto al estilo de las Islas Faroes. Es un país donde los niños suelen llevar jerseys de punto hechos a mano para combatir el crudo invierno. Es un país donde hay multitud de tiendas de lanas. Así que también es un país con muchas empresas de lana.
Denmark is a country whose most famouse TV serie detective is Sarah Lund, always in a Faroese knitted jumper. It's a country whose children usually wear hand-knitted pullovers to combat the cold. And also it's a country where there are lots of yarn shops. So it's easy to think then that there are plenty of yarn companies too.
Hjertegarn is one of them. It might be one of the oldest, because it started in 1926. It's a familiar company, as other Danish brands. Its business philosphy consists of selling quality products at reasonable prices. It is also remarkable their wide rage of fibers and colours. Due to all those reasons I decided to buy Arezzo lin yarn for Lizzie cardigan. It's made of cotton, linen and bamboo, almost equally, and it's lovely knitting with it.

Visiting their website was a bit painful because it's in Danish (and I don't know a word), the English translation is not very clear, and it needs a total renewal. However, now I know that their yarn is certified by Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, so don't have toxic substances. Also that they are only wholesalers and works as a traditional business, I mean, a good product, a reasonable price, and an outdated image. But the last fact can be positive for all those romantic people (like me!) who love genuine products, that exist from a long time before the Internet made knitting more popular than ever. I know it's clear, but sometimes I feel good while imagining all those mothers and grandmothers knitting from their childhood, without any written instruction, just by looking at swatches.

¡que bueno! Forbrydelsen es una de mis series favoritas, una pena que no hayan traducido la última temporada, espero que lo hagan algún día. También he visto The killing, que es la versión americana, pero la verdad que me gusta mucho más la danesa. Y por cierto que la protagonista americana, Sarah Linden, también lleva ese tipo de jerseys, que me encantan, yo soy muy de jacquard.
ResponderEliminarGracias por el link de la tienda, seguro que algo caerá... tengo un peligro...
Gracias a ti Guedello T! Somos peligrosas sí! :D

Doble descubrimiento en este artículo: esta marca de lanas y la serie, me apunto ambas, la serie de cara a esas tardes de otoño por llegar y la lana porque ya me gustó un montón cuando nos hablaste de Lizzie
