Classic merino yarn with respect for people, the environment and animals
Önling No 15 is a classic merino yarn, soft, light and pleasant to the skin. The yarn is round-spun, slightly elastic and less long-haired than other merino types. As a bonus, the yarn is machine washable - thanks to a special treatment without harsh chemicals.
In connection with dyeing, this yarn has been given a gentle non-superwash treatment with sodium, which means that the yarn does not change structure or fullness with gentle machine washing. This is an eco-friendly alternative to the superwash treatment, which removes the natural shells from the wool fibers with an acid and chlorine bath, after which a kind of plastic coating is added to the surface of the yarn;

Yarn quantities:
As a rule of thumb, you can expect to use the following amounts of No 15 for a sweater with a regular fit. We recommend you buy an extra ball, just to be on the safe side - you can always return yarn to Önling if you have bought too much (and if label is unbroken):
XS-S = 400 gr
M-L = 450 gr
XL-2XL = 500 gr
3XL = 550 gr
4XL = 600gr
5XL = 650gr
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect. Often it is enough to hang your woolen sweater / garment outside in the humid weather or bring it with you into the bathroom, when you take a long, hot shower - the steam will often be enough to freshen it up it and remove any unwanted odors.
Specifically for knitwear knitted in Önling's Everyday Kit
Neither Önling No 12 nor No 13, is pre-washed when you receive it on cones. You get the best result if you soak your finished knitted garment in lukewarm water for approx. 2 hours. Then wash the garment as you would otherwise with washing detergent for wool, either by hand or on a wool program in your washing machine. Dry it by laying it flat.
Specifically for knitwear knitted in Önling's Silk kit
As the Silk Kit from Önling contains 3 different qualities (linen, wool and silk), we recommend that you always wash your silk sweater / garment by hand, to avoid it changing shape or appearance during wash. The three qualities will react differently to water, temperatures, etc. Önling can not take responsibility for the result if you wash your silk sweater in the washing machine. Your garment made from the silk kit should NOT be spun or tumble dried. Instead, dry it by laying it flat.
