NOTE: A yarn with the same fiber composition but a different meterage/yardage has been sold by HWF under the product name ‘Angebot 8000 Avantgard’ for ages, but is no longer available.

Wollfabrik Hamburg sells most of their yarn in single plies and in 50 g units with a minimum purchase of 200 g, but it can be ordered wound up on cones folded (not plied!) without extra charge. They also combine different colors if wished.
