Sealord is a special yarn in the fact that you can tightly knit a sweater on needle 3½ - 4 mm and it still feels soft and pliable. BUT you can also knit on needle 7 mm and your sweater will still keep its shape. It is as if the yarn fills out whatever space you give it with your stitches.  The most common tension is needle size 4½ - 5, app. 16-18 sts = 10 cm. But with Sealord, you will be able to knit almost any pattern you have at home already.

Check the banderoles for estimates of yarn amount.

Sealord has a retro look but feels soft and with no scratchyness at all. The knitted surface becomes just slightly shaggy enough for the sweater to be water and dirt repelling. Any lint is easily plucked off.

Sealord is also perfect for wet felting and home dyeing.
