  • ‘Kalinka’ is a 100% linen yarn produced in Sweden by Holma Helsingland for Karin Oberg.  This yarn comes in a wide range of beatiful jewel and intense colours as well as some more natural shades.  It’s a great yarn for summer tops and I’ve knitted several jumpers in this yarn over the years.  The linen feels a bit stiff to begin with, but it softens up on washing and wearing.

    You can use patterns designed for linen with this yarn, or other fingering/4ply patterns – but do check your gauge first.  Bear in mind that you will produce a more open fabric and the drape will be different, so not all pattern designs will be suitable. I typically use a 3.25 or 3.5mm needle over Stocking Stitch with this yarn.

    There are approximately 320m per 100g and the yarn is sold in 100g hanks.

    I wash this yarn in the wool cycle of my machine with a small amount of non-bio detergent.  I block the garment out to shape while still damp.

  • ‘Merino Chunky  ‘ is a pure Merino wool knitting yarn.  The yarn has been plied to produce an even, rounded knitting wool.  This yarn is suitable for garments and accessories.

    There are approximately 100m per 100g and the yarn is sold in 100g hanks.

    This yarn is not superwashed and should be hand-washed or washed in the wool cycle of your machine with a small amount of non-bio detergent.  Do not tumble dry.
