Double Sunday is Sandnes Garn's 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's wool suppliers has guaranteed that the wool they buy does not come from sheep that have been subjected to mulesing.
