Viking Norwegian Wool

Viking Norwegian Wool is a bulky yarn made from 93% Norwegian wool and 7% nylon. The wool consists of a combination of lambswool and wool from young sheep, giving the yarn a pleasant texture. The yarn has a distinctive construction in which a fine nylon thread holds the wool fibres together, contributing to a stable and even finish. Norwegian Wool is produced in Italy and combines Norwegian wool with a modern manufacturing technique.

Uses
Norwegian Wool is well suited to warm jumpers, cardigans, waistcoats and various knitted accessories. Its bulky texture makes it particularly suitable for projects where you want a warm, soft result with plenty of volume.

Product benefits

• Norwegian wool: The high proportion of natural wool fibres provides warmth and breathability, making the yarn suitable for garments worn during the colder months.
• Distinctive yarn construction: A fine nylon thread holds the wool fibres together and contributes to the yarn's strength and shape retention without overpowering the natural wool texture.
• Bulky knitted finish: With the recommended 8.00 mm needles, you can create an open stitch structure suitable for both simple designs and knitting with pronounced texture.

Tips for use
Always make a tension swatch before starting so you can check your gauge and adjust the needle size to suit your project. Try the yarn for simple cables, ribbing or stocking stitch, where its bulky texture can really stand out. Wash the finished item gently and allow it to dry flat to help maintain its shape.

Why choose this yarn?
Viking Norwegian Wool is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a warm, bulky wool yarn with a different construction from traditionally spun yarn. The combination of Norwegian wool and a fine nylon thread provides good stability and plenty of possibilities for both classic and contemporary knitting projects.
