Ullcentrum’s Sport Weight is a 2-ply yarn with 300 meters per 100 grams (6/2) spun from pure Swedish wool from Öland. The standard weight of a hank is 100 grams unless otherwise specified.

This is an extremely versatile yarn, which can be used for a variety of projects.

Recommended gauges:

Mittens, gloves and cowls: 2 - 2.5 mm/ US 0 - 1.5
Hats, caps and beanies: 3 mm/US 2.5
Jumpers and cardigans: 3 - 4 mm/US 2.5 - 6
Shawls and scarves: 4 - 7 mm/US 6 - 10.5

This yarn is also suitable for use with hand knitting machines and available on cones with a thickness of 8/2.

Swedish wool yarn is strong, soft, easy to knit with and excellent for use as warp when weaving. It is also well suited for felting, should you so wish.

Ullcentrum’s Sport Weight yarns are available in a multitude of exquisite colours, both variegated and solid, making them a true delight to the eyes.
