Create beautiful, classic Icelandic handknits with this single-ply heavy laceweight yarn. Made from Icelandic wool, this yarn does soften considerably after blocking. Einband is lightweight and warm, making it perfect for special shawls and delicate colorwork sweaters. Einband can also be held along with Plotulopi, to create unique marled knit fabrics.
Note: Projects made from Einband can stretch and are therefore difficult to measure until they have been washed. Be sure to check your gauge before and after blocking.
