Uncomparable CaMaRose!
For those of you waiting for My Sister Knits to restock Danish CaMaRose yarns, you’re in luck! We received a shipment of 3 large boxes full of Snefnug and Midnatssol in the most gorgeous colors earlier in the week!
Starting from the top left, the colors are Fersken, Snehvid, and Lime
Snefnug, which translates to snowflake, is so light and airy! It’s officially a bulky weight blend of 55% baby alpaca, 35% organic cotton, and 10% extra fine Merino wool. The cotton creates a tube that the alpaca and Merino are blown into, making it hard wearing but super soft. Projects made with Snefnug will be warm and cozy!
Swatching and washing the swatch are a must because Snefnug might shrink a bit but then recover its size with wear. There are over 7,300 projects posted on Ravelry!
From the upper left: Braendt Rosa, Antracit Bla, and the bottom is Noddebrun
We’ve found that this delectable yarn can be worked at a variety of gauges so you might want to buy yourself a ball of it and experiment with different size needles. It’s so enjoyable to knit with you probably won’t want to stop swatching! I love this yarn so much that I’ve made two sweaters with it - a cardigan and a pullover. Joji Locatelli’s Tromso Hat for my soon-to-be son in-law is next on the list! The sweaters both called for Aran weight yarn and turned out perfect with the Snefnug. There are projects on the Snefnug Ravelry pages that call for a variety of weights from worsted to bulky.
Starting from upper left: Braendt Orange, Vissengron, and Mork Lilla
We have several samples in the shop for you to see and feel how it knits up. We have the Dark Moss Pullover designed by Teti Lutsak, the Opal Vest designed by Irene Lin, the Finest Kinder designed by Alicia Plummer for starters! I apologize for no link for Finest Kinder, I can’t find the pattern anywhere online. Here’s the link to the adult sized Finest Kind!
Just a few of the Midnatssol colors! From left to right: Sart Ferksen, Havgron, and Lysebla
The other CaMaRose yarn that was delivered is Midnatssol, which means Midnight Sun. This is a lace weight yarn made with 54% baby alpaca, 10% Merino wool, and 36% lyocell. Lyocell is made from wood pulp, using a closed-loop process that recycles almost all of the chemicals used. Midnatssol adds a beautiful soft fuzziness to any project, the same as mohair. Some people find it less itchy and softer than mohair. We have samples made with Midnatssol by itself for you to fall in love with!
Trine Bertelsen, owner of CaMaRose yarn,has been designing knit and crochet patterns since 2008. She started off with designs for babies and children and has added designs for adults. She named her company after her three children, Carl-Emil, Mathilde, and Anna-Rose. Along the way, she became interested in creating her own yarn. The result is yarn that is animal and environment friendly.
If you have yet to discover these yarns, you are in for a treat! Ask us to show you our samples when you’re in the shop!
Happy Knitting,
