Description

Product information "Novita Nalle Alpakka - 44 graphite"

Novita Nalle Alpakka yarn combines wool, alpaca and polyamide: knitters find it soft and pleasant to work with, while the alpaca gives the knitted fabric a light halo. Polyamide adds strength, so it is often used to knit socks; wool helps cables and stranded colourwork retain their definition.

How many balls do I need for a jumper?

Allow 10 balls for a size M jumper. For another size, check the yarn requirements in the knitting pattern.

Which needles should I use?

Start with 3–3.5 mm circular needles. Check the yarn thickness, tension and needle size given in the pattern against the specifications; if the values differ, choose a different size.

How should I wash this yarn?

Machine wash the finished item on a wool cycle. Friction in warm water can felt wool, so gentle washing helps preserve the knitted fabric.

For a size M jumper, use this number of balls, but first knit and wash your tension square: this lets you check the tension and how the knitted fabric behaves with your chosen care method. If your next pattern calls for yarn of a different thickness, take a look at other Novita yarn.
