A summer yarn specially developed for Nordic summers

Summer yarn. Pickles Sommerull is a sophisticated blend of merino lamb wool and organic cotton, which makes for a unique, soft and light yarn. The merino wool gives flexibility and resilience, so that garments knitted in this yarn won´t loose shape when they´re used. The yarn is suitable for summer knits and as a year-round yarn for knitters who wants that luxurious feel in their knitted garments. This yarn also feels good while knitting; it glides well over the needles, and it´s not difficult or tiring to use. It is both soft and elastic, and creates smooth and even stitches.

Pickles Sommerull is specially developed for nordic summers. We are used to wearing wool in the winter, but wool is an amazing material for regulating tempurature, with a cooling effect in the heat, and a warming effect in the cold. Imagine animals in the highlands walking outside during hot summer days and cold nights. Wool is also self-cleansing and makes garments smell less, so that they can be aired instead of washed. This is good for the nature and for the environment, and is perfect for garments used on holiday or hiking trips.

We recommend hand washing in cold or luke warm water, but you can put it on a spin cycle afterwards (please make sure that you do not use a rinse cycle, only spin cycle) to extract water. Afterwards, lay the garment flat on the floor and stretch/block it in the shape you want. The garment will dry in a few hours.
