Geitrams 2 ply, 50/100g, (Fireweed)

White lamb's wool from Vestvågøya dyed with cochineal. Crossbred wool of Norwegian White Sheep.

Here on the island, we have a bunch of discerning sheep farmers who are skilled in their breeding work, and wool quality is in the focus. This is soft, luxurious first-class lamb's wool.

We heat the wool in a hot dye bath containing cochenille; a process done by hand in our color kitchen on the farm. We have maximum 26 skeins per dye batch, and all the skeins are marked with batch number. Be sure to get the same number if you want the same shade.

100 grams in one skein = about 315 meters.
