Old Norwegian yarn is known for its quality and durability. Traditionally, it’s made from the wool of Norwegian sheep, which can be coarse and robust. This type of yarn is often used in knitting and weaving, producing items that are warm and long-lasting. It’s great for traditional garments like sweaters and mittens.
Norwegian yarn is often prized for its natural, rustic texture. The wool comes from breeds like the Spælsau, which has a double coat that offers both softness and strength. The yarn’s natural properties make it ideal for outdoor clothing because it helps retain warmth and repels water. It’s also great for colorwork patterns because of its ability to hold shape and stitch definition well.
