Sandgrunn 3 ply, 50/100g (Sandy ground)

Sandgrunn is white lambswool from Vestvågøy in Lofoten dyed with indigo. Crossbred wool of Norwegian White Sheep.

Here on the island, we have a bunch of discerning sheep farmers who are skilled in their breeding work, and wool quality is the focus. This is soft, luxurious, first-class lamb's wool.

We dye the yarn blue with natural indigo dye. We make about 13 skeins per dye batch, and mark each skein with the batch number.We always send colors from the same dyelot per order.

Same thickness as 3-ply 4 Favner, 10 Favner, Brådjupt, Steingrunn, 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.

Our indigo-dyed yarn has images from a map of Lofoten from 1747.
