About the Wool
- Seagull - Lightweight Wool
- Our premium yarn from South American crossbred sheep, produced exclusively for Dale of Norway.
This light and soft yarn is perfect for mid-layer garments requiring a lighter and softer feel. To make it machine washable it undergoes a revolutionary new wool treatment using natural non-toxic salts. Naturally, our wool is mulesing-free. Garments knitted with Seagull can be machine washed using wool-cycle. (Fiber diameter: 27 micron)
