Purl woolen yarn

Norwegian fur sheep is a Norwegian breed of sheep different from Norwegian white sheep. Norwegian fur sheep have gray curly wool that contains both light and dark fibers. The dark fibers give the yarn an exciting depth and melange when it is dyed. The wool is fine, soft and silky. This means that yarn made from fur wool is softer and more shiny than wool from Norwegian white sheep.

Sølje fur wool yarn is a shiny, soft and airy hand knitting yarn spun from wool from Norwegian fur sheep.
The yarn is suitable for fine jumpers, cardigans and dresses for adults. It is also suitable for children's clothing and baby blankets.

The yarn has good felting properties and gets a nice halo after felting. It becomes fluffy and soft.

Washing advice
Garments knitted in wool yarn do not need to be washed too often. Allow the garment to air well after use.
When you have to wash it, we recommend hand washing with mild wool soap and letting it dry flat.
