Collection: Finn Bulky

100% untreated Finn wool; sourced from Frostad Farms, AB; woolen soft spun 3-ply (has the appearance of a single ply); approximately 112g/ 137m (4 oz/ 149 yds)); bulky weight; (formerly called "Frostad Bulky").

The yarn is spun at a local mill, Custom Woolen Mills. Finn fleece is soft and lofty, with an inherent sheen. It has a long staple length, which adds a bit of strength. You will find small bits of vegetation in the yarn, and may have a knot in your skein. This is how it comes from the mill, and is considered normal. 

This base is seasonal, and is subject to availability.

Finn Bulky is a great choice for bulky sweaters, hats, mitts, and blankets. Listed yardage is a guideline for determining yarn weight, but because the yarn is woolen spun, you may find you can knit at a significantly smaller gauge than with a worsted spun bulky yarn and that your finished fabric behaves differently than worsted spun yarns. Swatching will help you figure out what gauge you like best!
