TUULEN TYTÄR

Tuulen Tytär is our very first merino yarn ever. It has been crafters' favorite for years, and for a good reason. This soft and elastic fingering weight yarn holds shape for years, and is soft enough for even the most delicate skin types.

Tuulen Tytär is perfect for cable knits and structured stitch patterns. The relatively high twist in this 4-ply yarn enables all knit and purl stitches to stand out in the knitted fabric.

Tuulen Tytär can be knit to a tight gauge, but it behaves best when knitted up with bigger needle sizes than what is usual for fingering weight yarns. The elasticity of merino allows for the garment to maintain shape and warmth even when worked into a slightly looser gauge.
