Yarn package Alasuq Polar Original: Knit your own Wilderness Sweater - Robust and weather-resistant wool for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers

Explore the outdoors in style and comfort in your own Alasuq Polar Original sweater. Taken from the popular book Wilderness Sweaters 1 (2019), this design is created for the outdoors and adventurous souls. The sweater is perfect for everything from forest walks and mountain hikes to cozy evenings around the fire.

The unique wool of Icelandic sheep:
Alasuq Polar is knitted in the Icelandic yarn Alafosslopi, known for its exceptional quality and weather resistance. The Icelandic sheep live outside 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-resistant - perfect for wilderness sweaters.

You can also find the pattern in the book » Wilderness Sweaters «. See more yarn packages HERE .

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

Knitting tension :
10 cm solid color stocking stitch on Pinne 6 mm=13 stitches
10 cm pattern knit on Pinne 7 mm = 13 stitches
(The stated needle size is only a guide. If you get more stitches than stated in 10 cm, go up one needle size. If you get fewer stitches than stated in 10 cm, go down one needle size. Pay attention to the knitting tension on the pattern).

Yarn: Alafosslopi

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