Skarv 3 ply 100g (cormorant), 50g/100g from 2022

The black wool comes from Norwegian crossbred black sheep (that occasionally turn black/brown). Since there are not enough of these black sheep here in Lofoten, the wool station Fatland wool has collected the best black wool from the entire region for us! Usually this yarn contains mostly lambswool so it’s really light and soft.

Crossbred wool by Norsk Kvit Sau.
1 skein weighs 100 grams. Nm 6.3 / 3, about 210 meters. Knitting needle approx. 3 - 4.5.

IMPORTANT: see photo of the yarn before and after washing; the skein on the left contains sheep fat (lanolin) and dust from the sheep, and after a light wool wash it becomes softer, lighter and airier. We advise you first 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.

This is vintage yarn, each year has its natural nuances. The clip from 2022 is now for sale.
