SAND, bulky 50/100g, Anno 2024

White wool from Spælsau sheep reared on Vestvågøya and Flakstad in Lofoten. The blend of soft bottom wool and fine, shiny cover hair results in a gorgeous yarn of a rare quality.

Photos on the skeins show the beach on Myrland, Flakstadøy, where many of these Spælsau sheep live.

The yarn has the same thickness as Storm, Full Storm and Tare.

‘Vintage’ yarn, every year has its own nuance. The clip from 2024 is now for sale. This yarn is a mixture of wool from Spæl sheep and Norwegian White sheep.

The yarn contains sheep fat (lanolin) and becomes softer and airier after a gentle wool wash. You should knit a sample patch, wash and dry it and then measure / calculate the number of stitches / pin thickness before larger projects.
