Yarn kit Alasuq Polar Original: Knit Your Own Wilderness Sweater – Robust and weather-resistant wool for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers

Explore nature with style and comfort in your own Alasuq Polar Original sweater. This design is taken from the popular book Wilderness Sweaters 1 (2019) and is created for outdoor life and adventurous souls. The sweater is perfect for everything from forest walks and mountain hikes to cozy evenings around the campfire.

Unique Icelandic sheep's wool:
Alasuq Polar is knitted from Icelandic Alafosslopi yarn, known for its exceptional quality and weather resistance. Icelandic sheep live outdoors in the harsh climate all year round, which gives them a special type of wool with both thick guard hairs and soft undercoat. This combination makes the yarn incredibly warm, durable, and water-repellent – perfect for Wilderness Sweaters.

You can also find the pattern in the book " Wilderness Sweaters ". See more yarn kits HERE.

Sizes: S (M) L (XL) XXL Women/Men

Gauge:
10 cm stockinette stitch on 6 mm needles = 13 stitches
10 cm colorwork on 7 mm needles = 13 stitches
(Stated needle size is only a guide. If you get more stitches than stated per 10 cm, go up one needle size. If you get fewer stitches than stated per 10 cm, go down one needle size. Pay attention to the gauge for the pattern).

Yarn: Alafosslopi

Yarn alternative: Troll and/or Blåne peltsheep wool yarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk (100% Norwegian wool). These yarns are slightly thinner than Alafosslopi, so you may need to increase the needle size by 0.5 mm from what is stated. Always knit a swatch before you begin.
You can also use Snorre from Vikinggarn, which is a merino yarn, if you want a non-itchy sweater.
