Pattern with wild sheep in grey, brown and natural white (natural colours).
Design: Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk by Berit Løkken.
100% Norwegian wool. 2-thread yarn, 125 m = 100 g
The wild sheep on Ytre Lygra is outside all year and graze in the coastal heaths. The yarn in the knitting package is a collaboration between Lygra villsaulag and the Heathland Centre, and is spun at Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.
The wool of the wild sheep is two-parted with fine bottom wool and coarser top wool. The yarn is thick and robust, but still soft. Finished garments become softer after washing. The yarn is very suitable for outerwear and mittens. Wool from wild sheep is known to be relatively water resistant and very warm.
