Yarn

You buy the pattern here. The yarn you buy wherever it's sold. These are the yarns I design with, and where to find them.

Garnspesialisten

Surplus yarn from the fashion industry — batches that would otherwise have been left sitting. I mention them in most of my patterns because they suit the way I work: one batch, one colour, rarely quite the same the next time round. It's the same thinking behind my ready-made knits.

If you don't know where to start, I've gathered the designs made for several colours and small amounts here: Knitting with leftover yarn.

House of Yarn

Påfugl in Paris turns up in more of my patterns than any other yarn. House of Yarn also stocks Dale Garn and Du Store Alpakka.

The gold thread

In some of the designs a metallic thread runs alongside the mohair. It's Mölnlycke metallic sewing thread, not a yarn — it's knitted together with the main yarn and gives the glint.

Want to use something else?

What matters isn't the brand, it's the gauge. Every pattern states how many stitches should go to ten centimetres. If you hit that, you can use the yarn you already have. Colours are discontinued and qualities disappear — the gauge stays.
