Lebrasa 3 tråds
(Google) translation: LE-BRA-SA comes from LEine, BRAdford, SAndnes.
Sheep live on the Leine farm in Kvam at Gudbrandsdalen and Anders sheers them himself. The wool’s washed and carded in Bradford, England, in a Norwegian factory called Nortura. Afterwards the wool comes back to Norway and is spun in Sandness. It becomes a warm, soft and very good quality yarn.
The yarn ‘s untreated and retains wool properties. That is, it can be felt, if desired. Therefore, if you don’t want felting to happen, it’s important to use wool program and wool soap (preferably without perfume)
The treatment (wool processing ?) is also more environmental friendly.
The 3 ply yarn is very close to the Fado yarn in weight and can be knit together.
Metrage: 117 m / 50 gr (1 skein)
Gauge: (stocking st ?) 20 sts / 29 rws / 10 cm / 3,5 mm ndl
