Atlas

Sandnes Garn Atlas is a voluminous quality yarn made of 70% Norwegian lambswool and 30% fine merino wool. The combination unites the natural durability of Nordic wool with the soft, pleasant feel of merino – ideal for hard-wearing knitted pieces that are very comfortable to wear. The yarn impresses with its warmth, lightness and particularly beautiful stitch definition. Despite its rather compact yardage, Atlas has impressive volume and is excellently suited for sweaters, cardigans, hats or other cozy winter projects. The structure of the Norwegian wool provides shape retention and character, while the merino wool adds extra softness. The Norwegian lambswool used comes from mulesing-free farming and is processed regionally, which reduces transport routes. The merino wool from Argentina is also obtained mulesing-free. Sandnes Garn relies on transparent supply chains and resource-conserving production: the animals live on natural pastures, without clearing of forest areas. Production mainly uses energy from hydropower, and the water used is thoroughly cleaned after the production process.
