Sandnes Garn

Sandnes Garn is the largest manufacturer of hand-knitting yarn in Northern Europe, equipped with one of the world's most modern spinning mills in one of the oldest factories in Norway that is still producing.

In 1888, Sandnes Uldvarefabrik was founded, and a red brick factory was erected in a place of honor, in the middle of Sandnes, in the middle of Vågen. The factory was a witness to the industrial revolution before it burned down in 1978, and was rebuilt between hills and mountains outside the city. There have been several ownerships and several name changes, until we got our current name, which also reflects that it is no longer only wool that goes through our spinning mill and out into the world.
