If you like quality and luxury in your knitwear, you will love to work with Dale Garn Falk. Price and quality go hand in hand, and here you get a fantastic, highly durable wool yarn. The yarn may be used and washed again and again without losing its strength, colour or shape.

The durable wool yarn is made from pure, new wool from South America. The thread consists of four threads spun together into one, making the thread strong and light at the same time. Wool is a heat regulating natural material. This means that the wool protects you from the cold during fall and winter. At the same time, wool has a cooling effect during the warmer seasons.

The Dale Garn yarn has undergone a treatment that makes it easier to machine wash it: superwash treatment. By submerging the wool in a chloride bath, the layer of scurf on the outside of the wool thread is removed. The layer of scurf causes wool not to be machine washable. When the layer of scurf is removed, and the wool is subsequently thoroughly rinsed, the wool is easier to machine wash without shrinking and felting.

The washing properties of the wool are improved, and it is now possible to machine wash the wool on a wool cycle at 40ºC. Use a washing powder/liquid developed specifically for wool and do not use fabric softener. When drying your knitwear, make sure to dry it flat. Superwash yarn makes it easier to wash knitwear in a busy everyday life. 

The superwash treatment also prevents the wool from itching. The yarn turns soft and does not irritate the skin. With Dale Garn Falk you get non-itching wool. This also means that Dale Garn Falk is suitable for many different projects. It is suitable for both aran patterns, braid patterns and patterns on yokes or sleeves of sweaters. Dale Garn Falk can also be used for Garter stitch and all types of hole patterns. 

A beautiful colour chart from Dale Garn - a wide palette of colours

Maybe you are a fan of two-colour knitting or multi-colour knitting. In that case, it is important that you have a wide selection of colours from the yarn’s colour chart. Dale Garn Falk is able to deliver this. If you love colours, you will be inspired by many shades. Dale Garn specialises in colours and offers an impressive colour chart.

As a special feature, their colour chart is divided into multiple subcategories. One category comprises neutral colours: black, charcoal grey, grey melange, beige and shades of white. Another category contains what they call “duse” pastel colours: light yellow, rose, heather, china blue, light grey and light green. “Duse” covers light colours with subdued shades, but they do not seem so light that they have a white tinge.

Yet another category entails the clear colours which may seem dominant because the colour shines through the yarn so brightly. In this category, you find sun yellow, orange, red, sharp rose, lavender, dark turquoise, clear blue and green. The last category is called retro colours. Here, most colours are strong, and many of them belong to the darker shades without being bright. Regardless of which colours you like to work with, Dale Garn provides colours for every taste which is a must when you embark on a knitting project.
