Gauge:
10 cm stockinette stitch with 6 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. Make sure to check the gauge of the pattern).
Yarn: Alafosslopi
Yarn alternative: Troll and/or Blåne pelsullgarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk (100% Norwegian wool). These yarns are slightly thinner than Alafosslopi, so you may need to increase 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.
