This light grey Jäkälä Tähkä Cardigan KnitKit is as beautiful as the golden August fields, full of ripe grain. Tähkä means grain cob in Finnish and as the crops are ready for harvesting, so is this yarn for knitting. The yarn is the finest, bulkiest and softest yarn made of Finnsheep wool, and it originates from Mikkola, Örnberg and Rauhala organic farms. The wool has been washed lightly and spun at Virrat, in Finland, with decades of expertise. The color is a natural mix of different colors of wool.
Color: Light grey
Level: Advanced
Knitting time: 2 to 3 weeks
