Holst Garn Coast is a 2-ply yarn, mixed by 55% Merino Lambswool and 45% Cotton.
Coast is a unique soft knitting yarn - Perfect for newborns, very sensitive people and anyone who just want to enjoy the softness.
Approximately 350 metres/383 yards per 50 gram
Knit with one thread at needles 2.5-3 mm/US 2-3 (Approx. 26 stitches = 10 cm/4 inches).
Knit with two threads at needles 4-4.5mm/US 6-7 (Approx. 21 stitches = 10 cm/4 inches).
You can use a washing machine - on a cold delicate wool program.
Note: Holst Garn Coast contains a bit of spinning oil and excess dye. The oil and excess dye will disappear at the first wash - and the yarn will bloom and become extremely soft.
I have partially knitted with 2 of the balls, and then unravelled the knitting so there are 2 balls without their ball bands. they are from the same dye lot, honestly! I'm selling this because although I really love this colour it doesn't suit me.
I've tried really hard to get an accurate colour here. In real life this is a bit more vibrant - just like a bluebell or a blue hyacinth!
A website called Conrad Design is selling this yarn, this colour and the photo is pretty accurate.
Please note I will be away from 22nd to 28th April and so I won't be able to post our parcel of lovely yarn until 29th April. please bear this in mind if you need your yarn fix desperately!
