This yarn falls within the DK-light weight category but can also be used for sport-weight patterns. With its classic wool, structure, durability, and the fibers’ ability to absorb large amounts of moisture without feeling wet, Økologisk Hverdagsuld is an obvious choice for knitting sweaters, cardigans and mittens, that must be able to cope with colder climates.
Fiber Content: 100% Organic Wool
NOTE: Hverdagsuld changes drastically after being soak/blocked. After blocking a finished project, it can become inches longer. It is typical for non-superwash organic yarn. This blooms into a stunning rich texture.
