Saga Wool is 100% wool from New Zealand. Though nothing compares to the unique qualities of Icelandic wool, Saga Wool yarn is the best match. It is soft, lofty and warm, and therefore a great choice for Icelandic sweater patterns. The outcome is a wolly sweater with striking resemblance to Icelandic wool sweaters, only softer. DK weight yarn for needles 4.5 – 5 mm. Sweater quantity M/L: Est. 450 – 500 g. Washing instructions: Handwash only. Gently press excess water from the garment. Dry flat. Cruelty free and eco-friendly dyed wool.
