The shop in Chiswick will be taking a brief break from Wed 5th Mar to Tue 18th Mar. Orders placed during this time will be dispatched from Thu 19th Mar.
In the old days in Iceland, the single ply wool yarns were spun by hand and preferably so fine and thin that a finished knitted shawl could be pulled through a finger ring.
Spinni is not so thin, and we use the yarn in many different contexts. Knitted in single thread, it is very suitable for lace-knitted scarves, and it is distinguished by maintaining its fine structure, so that the scarf does not "fall apart". Knitted in the round on a circular needle, the knitted fabric will tend to twist crookedly. If you are using Spinni with other yarns, this will usually not be a problem. For colourwork, Spinni is often included as one of the qualities, and the yarn, with its beautiful and characteristic structure, is a fine element in the knitted fabric.
