Kiruna
Nordic Sky Kiruna is a delicious blend of natural fibres and synthetic materials. This results in a yarn that has a comfortable and soft texture. So you don’t have to worry about creating scratchy creations when you crochet or knit with Kiruna yarn.
The yarn consists of 63% baby alpaca, 30% nylon and 7% merino. We recommend hand washing at 30°C here, while Kiruna should be dried flat to keep its shape.
Nordic Sky Kiruna is a so-called blown yarn, which refers to the manufacturing process itself. Instead of being spun in the traditional yarn manner, Kiruna is created by its fibres being gathered and blown through a tube. This tube technique is known by various names such as tube blow, air blow, air spun and air jet. Whatever you prefer to call the process, the unique technique makes Kiruna an airy and soft yarn. Nordic Sky Kiruna can thus be seen as a more luxurious version of our Infinity Hearts Lily blow yarn.
The fine Kiruna yarn thus has a lovely texture that is wonderful to work with, as the yarn glides easily and elegantly on both crochet hook and knitting needles. The recommended size of hobby tool here is 5 mm. of which Kiruna yarn has a knitting gauge of 10 x 10 cm = 17m x 22p. The yarn comes in a happy palette of dark and mild shades, you can mix and match just as you like. In addition, the tube technique gives the yarn balls a mottled play of colours, which is guaranteed to give your projects a playful look. In one Kiruna bobbin you get 50 grams of blow yarn equivalent to a run of approximately 150 metres.
