Krykkje, 2 ply 100g (Black-legged Kittiwake)

2 ply yarn where one thread is white wool and the other thread is the grey Steingjerde (white and black wool carded together); so-called molined yarn. All our molined yarns are named after seabirds. The sheep graze on the islands where the bird’s nest and the bird guano contribute to the very rich pastures - which gives good wool.

IMPORTANT: The yarn contains lanolin and becomes softer, lighter and airier after a gentle wool wash.  Always 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.

Crossbred wool by Norsk Kvit Sau.
This is ‘vintage’ yarn, and each year has its nuances. The clip from 2018 is now for sale.
