Below is a list of alternative yarns to use. The length of these yarns vary so it’s important to bear that in mind when calculating how much yarn that is needed when using an alternative yarn.
Here you can also use leftover yarn! If you have thinner yarn than the yarn used you can always knit using double tread. Be creative :D. Remember that the colour white and black sometimes doesn’t felt because of how they yarn is treated during colouring. Superwash yarns doesn’t felt either.

Blåne from Hillesvåg Yarns, Alafosslopi, Vams from Rauma Yarns, Viking hobbygarn, Snorre from Viking, Drops Snow, Fritidsgarn from Sandnes Yarns.
