Haugesund sweater in soft alpaca
Haugesund sweater is knitted in baby alpaca air together with brushed alpaca silk.
This sweater is a tribute to my hometown! It represent the sea where we live, as well as the seagulls we have in the city coat of arms.
If you are going to knit the sweater a bit longer, I recommend an extra ball in the following sizes:
Size XXS/XS: 1 ball brushed alpaca silk and 1 ball in Garnhimmelen superfine alpaca / Baby Alpaca Air
Size L: 1 ball of brushed alpaca silk and 1 ball of Garnhimmelen superfine alpaca / Baby Alpaca Air
Please note that it is important to have the right knitting tension, as it also affects the amount of yarn. It is recommended to knit a swatch of 10x10 cm to determine this.
