Sandnes Garn Atlas

Super springy and wonderfully lofty, Sandnes Garn Atlas is a woollen-spun yarn made from a blend of 70% Norwegian lambswool and 30% merino. A bit like our fave, Peer Gynt, but a bit fatter, softer and ever so squishy.

Atlas is a bit of a fat DK, sitting somewhere between a DK yarn and a light worsted weight, so you can use it for all kinds of everyday knitting projects in your Ravelry queue.

We swatched it on 4mm needles and got 20 sts to 10cm - a cracking choice for loads of the snuggly handknit sweaters and cosy cardigan knitting patterns you've got lined up for some winter knitting. We reckon it'd work brilliantly for a Champagne Cardigan by PetiteKnit. 

Lovely bounce, lovely stitch definition, just lovely full stop.

Recommended needle size: 4mm.

70% Lambswool and 30% Merino Wool

Use wool detergent, hand wash where possible, but Sandnes Garn suggests a wool programme at a max temp of 30. Avoid wash bags and fabric softener
