Steingrunn 3 ply, 50/100g (Stony waters)

Steingrunn is Steingjerde yarn plant dyed with indigo. Grey Steingjerde yarn is white wool from Lofoten carded together with black sheep wool from around Northern Norway. Crossbred wool from Norwegian White sheep.

Here in Lofoten the sheep live outside most parts of the year. The sheep eat a lot of seaweed and kelp, and the wind blows salt into the wool. These special conditions result in beautifully white, soft wool.

We dye the yarn with indigo in the color kitchen on the farm. We make about 13 skeins per dye bath, and mark each skein with the batch number. We always send colors from the same dyelot per order.

We want you to be aware that the lighter the yarn, the less lightfast it is. This means that it can withstand less direct sunlight and can fade over time if exposed to too much light.

Same thickness as 2-ply Sandgrunn, 4 Favner, 10 Favner, Brådjupt, Geitrams, Røsslyng, Vinterhimmel, Rød lunde, Rust, Gress and Gul lunde.

You should knit a sample, wash and dry it and then measure/calculate the number of stitches/needle thickness before larger projects.
