About our yarns
We only use very good quality yarn that is imported directly from the factory. The yarn types are mainly produced in Italy, and the manufacturer guarantees that all wool comes from sheep that have not been exposed to mulesing. All merino wool yarns (pure and blends) have a micron count of 19.5 - 20.5, which is one of the softest you can get your hands on.
On a general basis, we distinguish between superwash-treated yarn and untreated yarn. Superwash-treated yarn can withstand being washed in a washing machine, although we always recommend washing on a wool program with detergent intended for wool/silk.
If nothing is stated about pre-treatment of the yarn, you can assume with reasonable certainty that the yarn is untreated and must therefore be treated with care during washing. All wool garments should be dried flat and stored flat. It is better to have the garment lying folded in the closet than hanging on a hanger. 😉
We have yarn in these thicknesses:
– Lace weight
– Sock/4-ply/fingering weight
– DK (double knit) weight
- Aran weight
- Chunky

Lace Weight
Lace weight is the thinnest of the three thicknesses. We have two types:
Lace Mohair Silk (75% superkid mohair/25% mulberry silk, 420 m). With a recommended knitting gauge that varies between 18 and 36 m per 10 cm with single strand, it can easily be knitted alone for airy and fluffy garments. If it is knitted double, you have an incredible number of possibilities, and typical knitting strength will be 14 - 23 m per 10 cm. It is also perfect as a companion thread to e.g. a strand of merino wool. Thin mohair/silk is used to give a shaggy and exclusive feel and look. Mohair's heat-insulating properties are approximately twice that of ordinary wool. Many knitting designers use thin mohair/silk either alone or as a companion thread in their recipes.
Thin alpaca/silk (75% baby suri alpaca/25% silk, 420 m) is equivalent to Thin mohair/silk in length and thickness, but thus consists of baby suri alpaca and silk instead of mohair and silk. The yarn is incredibly soft and deliciously fluffy.
Sock/4-ply/fingering weight
Sock/4-ply/fingering weight is the yarn thickness that is most popular, and it is very usable with its recommended stitch strength of 28 m per skein. 10 cm. It can also be knitted alone, double or with a follower thread. We have a number of types in this thickness, and will give a brief description of them here:
Thin pure merino wool (100% extrafine merino wool, superwash, 400 m) is the bestseller. This is a regular twisted yarn in 4 strands, which is soft and lovely to work with. It is suitable for everything from baby knitting to adult knitting, large and small garments, and the knitting strength can be varied a lot by knitting double or using a follower thread. Since it is superwash, it can be machine washed. However, it is always recommended to wash wool and detergent for wool/silk for knitted garments.
Thin pure merino wool (100% extrafine merino wool, easy wash, 430 m) is a deliciously soft and loose yarn for those who want all the good properties of superwash-treated yarn, but without the same footprint on the environment.
Thin untreated merino wool (100% extra fine merino wool, not superwash, 400 m) is quite similar to the first yarn, but this is not superwash treated. This means that no chemicals have been added to make the yarn machine washable, which means that it is completely natural - only washed and spun. The colors tend to be more subdued on this yarn compared to a superwash-treated yarn. Consequently, speckles/colour splashes will float out somewhat more and will not give equally defined dots. This can be a nice effect depending on what is desired.
Extra fine merino wool (100% extra fine merino wool, not superwash, 533 m) is the same yarn as the above, but chopped thinner. It can be used in the same way, and provides light and airy garments. This yarn is currently only available in April Cardigan yarn packs.
Thin single strand merino wool (100% extra fine merino wool, superwash, 365 m) is a deliciously soft yarn that is twisted in one strand. This gives a slightly rustic touch, and the yarn has a lovely shine.
Thin reinforced merino (85% extrafine merino wool/15% nylon, superwash, 400 m) is an incredibly delicious yarn with all the good properties of merino wool in addition to a small amount of reinforcement in the form of nylon. It is called luxury sock yarn, but can be used for EVERYTHING. The yarn has a great sheen.
Thin luxury merino (75% extrafine merino wool/25% mulberry silk, superwash, 400 m) is truly luxury in a bundle! The yarn has a lovely mother-of-pearl skin and is incredibly soft and delicious. This is the go-to yarn when you want to spoil yourself or someone you love.
Thin glitter merino ✨ (75% extrafine merino wool/15% nylon/10% silver stellina, superwash | 80% extrafine merino wool/15% nylon/5% gold stellina, superwash) are two yarn types in a deliciously durable merino blend with elements of silver or gold that glitters.

DK weight
DK weight is yarn with "normal" thickness. This means that there are an incredible number of recipes that this yarn can be used for with its recommended knitting strength of 22 m per 10 cm, but which fits well to 17-20 m per 10 cm without trailing thread. We have the following yarn types in DK weight:

It also requires greater care during washing.
