STAUR, 2 ply, 50g, Spæl sheep, Anno 2024
Staur is a grey 2 ply loosely twined yarn from Spæl sheep in Lofoten.
The wool is double coated; thin warm core wool and thicker cover hair that provides durability. The yarn is well suited for larger garments or small projects, but is too loose for socks.
The yarn contains sheep fat and becomes fluffier after a light wool wash. You should knit a swatch, wash and dry it and then measure/calculate the number of stitches/needle thickness before larger projects.
If you want to combine this yarn with 3-ply yarn in the Norwegian white sheep collection, you can add a 1 ply Steingjerde for example. It works well together.
Staur can also be easily combined with 2 ply yarn from the Norwegian white sheep collection.
