LØVFALD - STØVET BLÅ

Løvfald by CaMaRose is a really solid, no-nonsense yarn if you like natural fibres and a clean, even fabric. It’s a 4-ply made from 60% merino and 40% baby alpaca, using certified, untreated fibres — no superwash — so it feels warm, breathable and properly woolly in the nicest way.

The yarn is evenly spun, which makes it easy to work with whether you knit or crochet. Your stitches come out neat and consistent, and the fabric has a smooth, calm surface without being flat or lifeless. It’s soft, but not flimsy — the alpaca adds warmth and a bit of depth, while the merino keeps everything balanced.

Løvfald was developed by CaMaRose together with their spinning mill in Peru, with a focus on responsible sourcing and animal welfare, which shows in how considered the yarn feels. It’s a great choice for sweaters, cardigans and accessories you want to wear often — pieces where you notice the quality every time you put them on.

Commercially dyed yarn is dyed in large vats, usually made into large hanks of 1 kilo or more. The yarn is dyed to an extremely precise, all over colour using gradually rising heat. You can generally expect commercially dyed yarn to be very even and dye baths to be exact.

Commercially dyed yarn is wonderful for projects where you want a consistent, all over colour, or even colourwork pieces like fair isle or stranded knitting.

• Items made from this yarn should be washed by hand in cool water using a gentle wool detergent or wool wash.
• Keep agitation to an absolute minimum while washing to avoid unnecessary stress on the fibres.
• Never wring or twist your finished piece.
• Gently squeeze out as much water as possible, then roll the item in a towel and press to remove excess moisture. Lay flat to dry, carefully shaping it back to its original dimensions.

This fibre does not need to be washed after every wear. It is naturally breathable, so washing is only necessary when the item looks (or, occasionally, smells) like it needs it.
