PetiteKnit DOUBLE SUNDAY yarn – 100% merino wool

The same yarn as Double Sunday, but with PetiteKnit’s own range of easy-to-mix colors.

Double Sunday is Sandnes Garn thickest variant of 100% merino wool and is the perfect base yarn: a thick, non-superwash treated yarn that can be knitted with single and double strands. It can also be knitted together with Tynn Silk Mohair.

Merino wool is not only insulating, but also wicks moisture away from the body and retains heat even when moist, thanks to the structure of the fibers. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in water before it starts to feel wet.

Sandnes Garn supplier has guaranteed that the wool we buy does not come from sheep that have been subjected to mulesing.

For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Due to the unique absorbency of the merino wool, it is important to centrifuge hand-knitted garments well before drying  them on a flat surface, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
