Tynd Lamauld Are you a yarn enthusiast, someone who can appreciate the artistry of knitting, and the tactile pleasure of working with exceptional fibers? If so, let us introduce you to TYND LAMAULD, a yarn that promises to take your knitting experience to the next level. TYND LAMAULD is not just any yarn; it's a work of art in itself. Crafted with meticulous care, this yarn is spun with a single thread, revealing its true beauty and softness when knitted and washed. To fully grasp the marvel of TYND LAMAULD, we recommend knitting and washing a swatch – this is where the magic unfolds. What sets TYND LAMAULD apart is its unique blend of 50% llama wool and 50% Peruvian Highland wool. The result is a yarn that's both soft and rustic, with fibers that have natural variations in length. These varying fiber lengths might seem like a challenge, but they're actually a hidden treasure. When you knit with TYND LAMAULD, you'll find surplus fibers in your work, which add to its texture and character. Once you've created your masterpiece and given it that first wash, you'll discover another delightful surprise. Many of those surplus fibers wash out, leaving your creation even softer and cozier than you imagined. It's a yarn that truly gets better with time. But, as with any love story, there's a twist. TYND LAMAULD, due to its thickness and single-threaded spinning, has a tendency to twist when worked in the round in stockinette stitch with a single strand. It's a characteristic that might require a bit of extra attention, but the end result is well worth the effort. Now, let's talk specifications. Each 50-gram skein of TYND LAMAULD boasts an impressive 220 meters of yarn. To bring your vision to life, we recommend a gauge of 28 stitches by 40 rows, using needles sized between 2.5 and 3 mm. The possibilities are endless, and the results are bound to be magnificent. But there's more to TYND LAMAULD than meets the eye. This exceptional yarn is closely related to its sibling, LAMAULD. In fact, two strands of TYND LAMAULD can be used as an alternative to, or alongside, LAMAULD, giving you even more creative freedom. Now, let's dive into the heart of TYND LAMAULD – the llama wool. These fibers are an exclusive, natural marvel. They're lanolin-free, lightweight, and incredibly robust. Their unique hollow construction lends them superb insulation capabilities. In fact, llama wool is significantly warmer than your average sheep's wool, making it perfect for classic Nordic knitwear, shawls, scarves, baby blankets, and any garment that demands both strength and warmth without added bulk. Gauge Recommended gauge: 26 - 28 sts x 40 rows.Recommended needles: 2.5 – 3.5 mm. Material Materials: 50% llama and 50% wool.Weight / length: 50 grams = approx. 220 meters.Wool wash, max 30°C / Lay flat to dry. Spun in Peru.

Palet ISAGER PALET s a thicker ‘summer yarn‘ than Bomulin, and it adds an interesting structure when worked together with other yarns. The colours in Palet are a mixture of many colours, but the finished result will not be ‘striped‘, as the colours are added as small dots onto the yarn. The yarn is beautiful used on its own, especially in simple models, but it is also really exciting when worked together with other yarns. The colours work best if used in stripes together with e.g. Bomulin and this shows in the model Palet. Gauge Palet: 3 mm needles = 24 sts / 28 rowsPalet + Alpaca 1: 3.5 mm needles = 22 sts/ 26 rowsPalet + Alpaca 2: 4 mm needles = 18 sts/ 22 rowsPalet + Silk Mohair: 4.5 mm needles = 16 sts / 20 rows Material 100% cotton Meterage: 320 mSpun and dyed in Italy

SPINNI is a single ply natural wool. In the olden days in Iceland this yarn was hand spun and preferably so fine that a finished shawl could be pulled through a finger ring.Spinni is not quite as fine and we use the yarn in many different ways. When used on its own it is very suitable for lace shawls and one of its qualities is that it keeps its shape, so a scarf or shawl will not ‘collapse’.As Spinni is a single yarn spun in a single direction, it is not really suitable for knitting stocking stitch in the round. The knitted fabric will have a tendency to skew. If working in the round in a textured pattern this will not normally be a problem.In a multicoloured work Spinni will often be used as one of the yarns and with its beautiful and characteristic structure it is a lovely element in the knitted fabric. Gauge Spinni: 3 mm needles = 26 sts/ 30 rowsSpinni + Alpaca 1: 3 mm needles = 24 sts/ 28 rowsSpinni + Alpaca 2: 3,5 mm needles = 20 sts/ 26 rowsSpinni + Silk Mohair: 4 mm needles= 18 sts/ 24 rows Material 100% wool (single ply)Meterage 600 m in 100 g | 300 m in 50gThe yarn is spun and dyed in Denmark

This is for the printed KAL 2024 - On the Rocks pattern.   For Spring 2024, we will be knitting Lene Rix's On the Rocks Tee. On the Rocks Tee is an elegant t-shirt with dropped shoulders and a fine crystal pattern, gradually appearing on the body. Two different types of yarn are knitted together, one of which is more glossy than the other. A narrow folded edge, at the neck and on the sleeves, is knitted in the glossy yarn alone and creates a beautiful detail. The tee is worked top-down with the ”Contiguous” method. This means that the body and sleeves are worked together. Tips for color selection:  Use similar shades of the same color for Yarns A & B.  Too much contrast or separation across tones and the texture may be lost.    KAL Registration:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kani-kettu-spring-2024-kal-on-the-rocks-tee-tickets-878700736557?aff=oddtdtcreator Recommended Materials: (Option 1)• Yarn A:  250 (300) 300 (350) 400g Isager Trio 2  (175m/50g) and Yarn B: 100 (150) 150 (150) 200g Isager Alpaca 1 (400m/50g) - One strand of each held together.
