  • Mohair, no thanks

    Mohair is itchy, which other yarn should I choose? Two soft alternatives are Pus - Du Store Alpakka, and Puno - Rauma Garn. Both types of yarn have the same knitting strength as Myk Påfugl, and are therefore good alternatives that do not require changes to the pattern.

  • Sticks

    Which pin type should I choose? Bamboo - the yarn slides in a controlled manner on the stick.

    Plastic - smooth stick, perfect for the impatient .

    Alminium - the yarn slides easily on the stick.

    Surgical steel - pointed pins, with a smooth surface. Perfect
    for the impatient.

    Our best tip: borrow sticks from a friend and find your favorite 🧶🧶

  • Coloring

    Should I buy all the yarn at once? Yes. All yarn is dyed in pools and often with different quality, which means that each batch of yarn gets its unique colour. We therefore recommend buying all the yarn at the same time, or putting it aside in the store to ensure uniform colouring. This way you avoid annoying stripes in the garment .

  • Knitting fastness

    Do you knit tightly or loosely?

    Test knit a small patch with the yarn you are going to use, 15 cm long
    and 15 cm high, so you ensure that the garment fits you when you are finished.

    Tip: Measure and test your test knitting app in the wool program on the washing machine, then you will know
    what your garment can withstand, before it's too late.

  • Level

    The recipes are marked with 3 different levels, so that you can choose more easily
    whatever fits best.

    1. Beginner = completely fresh

    2. Beginner plus = have knitted a little

    3. Experienced knitter = Knitted a lot

  • I stick to the pattern

    What do I do if I am completely stuck on the pattern? In all the knitting patterns, there are short instructional knitting videos that are intended to help you along the way.

  • I still don't get it

  • Nub brush

    My knitwear gets fuzzy, what do I do? We've tested this handy little brush that you might need. This removes the bumps easily and simply. If you steam the garment very lightly under a wet cloth and on low heat afterwards, the jumper will regain its original appearance.

By the way, did you know how good knitting is for the brain?

In this article, knitting is compared to meditation, where knitting provides mental relaxation and reduces stress.

"Not only does it give you a wonderful sense of pride to be able to finish a knitting project you've spent time on, in the process you actually both stimulate the whole brain and strengthen your fingers, but it should also be able to reduce stress and depression," says psychologist Grete Nordhelle.

Grete Nordhelle continues.. "If you knit for yourself, it will be a special gift for you. The fact that you can put on a sweater that you have chosen the color of, adapted to suit you and your wishes and put a lot of work into , gives a completely different feeling than putting on a mass-produced knit sweater from a chain store."

"The knitwear becomes what it becomes at its own pace, and it must be allowed to do so. It is like everything else in nature. The apple on the apple tree is not ripe until it is, and in the same way you must be allowed to finish the knitwear when you're ready for it, she says."

"It's important for the psyche to be active. Just the fact that you're doing something active and concentrating on it can make everything else become more distant while you're at it. Knitting can thus help create distance from problems, says psychologist Grete Nordhelle."
