Description
CaMaRose Lamauld
LAMAULD, is a soft, rustic, and 1-threaded yarn consisting of 50% llama wool and 50% Peruvian Highland Wool.
The yarns rustic look, high insulation capacity and strength, makes LAMAULD particularly suitable for classic Nordic sweaters and cardigans, outerwear, and blankets.
The spinning of the yarn entails, that LAMAULD first unfolds completely, when knitted and washed. A knitted and washed swatch is therefore recommended, to get the full impression of the quality, look, and softness of the yarn. Llama wool has naturally very varied lengths of the fibers, which gives surplus fibers in the work process. The majority of these fibers are washed out at the first washes, which makes the result even softer.
The colour chart in LAMAULD is beautifully composed of natural (uncoloured), mottled and through-coloured hues, specially made for CaMaRose.
The natural colours (uncoloured) in LAMAULD are 6000 RÅHVID, 6001 ASKEGRÅ, 6041 GRÅ, 6080 MELLEMGRÅ, 6100 ELFENBEN, 6180 SAND, 6920 LYS BRUNMELERET, 6930 PERLEMOR and 6960 LYS SANDGRÅ.
Gauge
The length is 100 meters per 50 grams. The recommended gauge is 17-18 sts x 24 rows and the recommended needle size is 4.5-5 mm.
Material
The llama wool’s fibers are an exclusive natural product, lanolin free, light, and strong. The hollow construction of the fibers gives an unusual, good insulation capacity. Therefore, the llama wool is significantly warmer than ordinary sheep wool.
LAMATWEED can be used as yarn alternative to LAMAULD. HØST can also be used as yarn alternative to LAMAULD. The recommended needle size to get the same gauge with HØST as with LAMAULD is a 4.5 mm needle.
LAMAULD from CaMaRose is produced in Peru.
