Yarn

The yarn used for the samples is high quality 100 % wool from the Norwegian yarn manufacturer Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. The yarn can be substituted by any yarn of similar quality matching the gauge listed in the pattern.

The yarn can be purchased directly from the yarn factory.

Superwash, 4-ply machine washable 100 % worsted wool, ca. 300 m pr. 100 g.

Washing instructions: Hand wash or machine wash cold (wool cycle), mild wool detergent. Stretch into shape and dry flat.

Ask (Hifa 2), 2-ply 100 % woolen wool, ca. 315 m pr. 100 g.

Washing instructions: Hand wash cold, mild wool detergent. Do not rub the garment. Rinse well. Stretch into shape and dry flat.

NOTE: Although Ask is my favorite sweater yarn, and I (and my children) think it’s soft enough, some may find it too rustic to work with and wear. If you have low tolerance for wearing wool, this may not be the right yarn for you.
