The shop in Chiswick will be taking an Easter break from Thu 17th Apr. We will be back on Wed 7th May. Last day to place an order before the break is Tue 15th Apr. All orders received after this day will be shipped starting from Wed 7th May.
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.
