New to The Wool Pirate - Tukuwool DK!
From now until November 10, save 10% off the purchase of 2 or more skeins of Tukuwool DK. Discount automatically applied at checkout.
Tukuwool DK is made in Finland. Spun and dyed in Finland from 100 % Finnish wool, Tukuwool DK has the same unique characteristics that you fell in love with in Tukuwool Fingering! Lively woolen spun two-ply yarn is a delight to knit. Tukuwool DK is a genuine workhorse yarn for sweaters and accessories such as mittens and hats.
Tukuwool DK is at its best in colorwork as well as structures such as cables. After wet blocking the stitches relax and the fabric softens and evens.
The wool for Tukuwool DK comes from Finnish sheep farms that grow Finnsheep and Finnsheep/Texel breeds. Woolen spun Finnsheep wool is warm and airy, soft and rustic.
DK stands for Double Knitting weight, approximately 22 sts per 10 cm on 4mm needles. You may go with needles 3.75-4.5 and the gauge will vary between 18-22 sts. Depending on your project you may choose Tukuwool DK even though the pattern calls for a worsted weight yarn. Swatching is the best way to find out if the yarn is suitable for the chosen pattern.

I ordered some knitting supplies and they came very quickly and packaged so nicely. Would definitely recommend and I will definitely be purchasing from this company again. I have no affiliation with anyone at this company and am not being paid to say these things. Great Canadian company.
I contacted Cindy because I wanted to purchase a gift certificate for a friend living near by. Being the neophyte, I couldn't find on the website where to purchase a gift certificate, so, I sent her a note via the 'contact me' section of the website. Cindy responded quickly. The gift certificate was generated and sent on to the 'birthday girl'. What great customer service. Thank you Cindy
