Sandnes Garn - Sisu

Composition: 80% Superwash Wool, 20% Nylon Yardage: 50g – 175meters / 1.8oz - 191yards Knitting Needle Size: 2.5 – 3mm (US 1.5 - 2.5) Knitting Gauge: 27 Sts = 4″/10cm in stockinette stitch Suggested Care: For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt. Sisu is a soft, durable utility yarn reinforced with nylon. This makes it ideal for socks, but because it is so soft it has become a favorite for utility wear, layered under snowsuits and jackets. It has also been a favorite for knitting kofte sweaters since the early 1980s, because the structure of the yarn brings out the pattern of these traditional knitted jackets. Garments knitted with Sisu have a long lifespan and can remain just as beautiful for several generations. The yarn is superwash treated to withstand frequent machine washing. Made in Norway.
