The story behind the yarn

The E+2 1013 KLÓRÍT enrúm yarn is Icelandic wool and Thai mulberry silk twined together. The interplay of the two threads brings out the natural qualities of both threads and together they supplement each other and are a unique yarn, strong and light. The Icelandic wool is made of two parts; the threads of the upper layer are called “tog“. They are coarse and water repellent. The threads of the lower layer of the wool are called “þel“. They are warm, soft and insulating. Silk is one of nature‘s strongest threads. Thai mulberry silk is produced from the larvae of delicate silkworms that live only off the leaves of mulberry trees. Silk is known for its softness and a special shimmer that appears when light reflects beautifully from the prism formed fibres of the silk. Read the full story here
