Someone sent me some Novita 7 Veljesta last fall, but I haven't tried it yet. It looks like typical hard-wearing boot sock type stuff. The others I'm not familiar with. I'll look up the store; it's always interesting to see what's produced in different countries.
I think the reason US-made stuff is more expensive is probably the higher cost of production, mostly from wages. In general, I don't mind paying the little extra for something locally-produced, using traditional methods like Briggs & Little (which is actually made in Canada) https://www.briggsandlittle.com/
If you're ever looking for something you can't find there - needles, yarn, etc, I'll be glad to send it to you if I can lay hands on it.
ETA: I like the looks of the Tukuwool fingering a lot. I may have to place an order. So much for reducing my carbon footprint.
