Sandnes Duo | 50g

Sandnes Duo is the year-round yarn

Duo is a soft yarn that is not as warm as pure wool and not as heavy as pure cotton. The result is a lightweight, comfortable yarn that works just as well for garments as for accessories, and that you can knit with regardless of the season when you start. The blend consists of 55 percent merino wool and 45 percent cotton, and it is precisely this combination that gives the yarn its character.

For those who find wool itchy

The combination of merino wool and cotton makes the yarn soft against the skin, while giving it more resilience, warmth, and elasticity than pure cotton yarn. That is why Duo has become a popular choice for those who usually find regular wool irritating but still want to benefit from wool’s natural properties in the finished garment. In other words, you do not have to choose between comfort and functionality.

Supple results in sweaters, cardigans, and children's garments

The yarn is perfect for sweaters, cardigans, and children's garments, as well as for other projects where you want a soft, supple result. The elasticity makes a particularly big difference in children's clothing, which must withstand plenty of movement while feeling comfortable against the skin all day. Thanks to the combination of wool and cotton, Duo works just as well during the cooler as the warmer parts of the year, meaning you rarely have to abandon a project because of the season. The garment you knit in autumn may very well still be in your wardrobe when spring arrives.
