{"product_id":"rostlam-2-tradet-kvitsau","title":"Røstlam 2 ply 50g\/100g, Anno 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhite lambswool from Røst, sheared in the autumn. These gorgeous fibres are spun into thin threads and twisted into a round, rich yarn that is just as thick as Snykvit and our other 2 ply yarns from the Kvitsau collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRøst is the remotest islands in the Lofoten archipelago. Here the sheep live outside almost all year round, often on the islets around Røstlandet itself. The sheep eat seaweed and kelp, and the wind blows salt into the wool. These special conditions result in wool that is beautifully white, soft and airy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIMPORTANT! The yarn contains sheep fat (lanolin) and becomes softer, whiter and airier after a light wool wash. You should knit a sample, wash and dry it and then measure \/ calculate the number of stitches \/ pin size before starting larger projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is vintage yarn, batched by year, and each year has its own nuance. Now we sell the wool from 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe receive the yarn from the spinning mill in 100g skeins with option to divide into 50g. If you only want to buy a little for a smaller project, the skein is divided into half.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe photo on the label shows a lamb in Røst.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 whole skein weighs 100 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e315 meters per 100 grams \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNm 6,3\/2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnitting needles from ca 2,5-3,5mm. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 % pure Norwegian wool\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\/\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUS measures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne skein is 3,52 ounces= 262 feet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKnitting needle: approx. 10,5 - 13\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\/\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUK measures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne skein is 0,220 lb. = 314 in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKnitting needle: approx. 3- 00 (Nb. the double 00 is intentional)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lofoten Wool","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":45856467517592,"sku":"","price":190.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":45856467484824,"sku":"","price":115.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/0048\/9368\/files\/IMG_5193.jpg?v=1741771015","url":"https:\/\/lofoten-wool.no\/en\/products\/rostlam-2-tradet-kvitsau","provider":"Lofoten Wool","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
