Sandnes Double Sunday PetiteKnit 2511 Almond

We are absolutely head-over-heels for Double Sunday, and it’s easy to see why it has become such a superstar in the making world. This is the thickest version of Sandnes’ 100% merino wool, and because it hasn't been superwash treated, it retains that lovely, authentic "woolly" feel that we adore. It has a beautiful, plump structure (or "pucker" as we like to call it!) that gives your stitches a wonderful definition, making even a simple bit of stockinette look like something truly special.

What makes this yarn a real hero in our stash is its sheer versatility. You can knit it on its own with a single thread for a classic, bouncy finish, or double it up for a chunkier, more substantial look. And if you’re feeling a bit fancy? Try knitting it together with a strand of Thin Silk Mohair to add a delicate, fuzzy halo - it’s a combination that we think is a total game-changer for cosy cardigans and jumpers.

Pure merino magic for every project

We know that as makers, you want your hard work to be practical as well as beautiful. Merino wool is a bit of a wonder-fibre; not only is it incredibly insulating and warm, but it also wicks moisture away and can hold up to 30% of its weight in water before it even starts to feel damp! This makes it the perfect choice for everything from hard-wearing garments and accessories to snuggly homewares.

Whether you’re a beginner looking for a reliable yarn that won't split, or a confident pro planning a complex cabled masterpiece, Double Sunday is a dream to work with. It glides over the needles (we recommend a 3.5mm to 4mm) and creates a fabric that is soft enough for the most sensitive skin. Just remember to give your finished pieces a gentle wool wash to keep them looking their best for years to come. It’s honest, high-quality wool that simply lets the joy of making shine through!
