Vått Steingjerde 2 ply, 50/100g (Wet stone fence), Anno 2024

Vått steingjerde is white crossbred lambswool carded together with black sheep’s wool sourced from across northern Norway. The white lambswool is from Lofoten.

The black wool comes from Norwegian black sheep (that occasionally turn black/brown). Since there are not enough of these black sheep here in Lofoten, we have got the best black wool from the entire region! Crossbred wool by Norsk Kvit Sau.

IMPORTANT: the yarn contains sheep fat (lanolin) and dust from the sheep, and after a light wool wash it becomes softer, lighter and airier. We advise you first knit a sample, wash and dry it, then measure and calculate the number of stitches to establish the right pin size before starting larger projects.

This is vintage yarn which each year has its nuance. The clip from 2024 is now for sale.

The photo on the label is from a stone fence around the church yard in Røst.
