Sandnes Duo 3021 Light beige : Merino & Pima Cotton Yarn

We believe every maker needs a reliable, "go-to" yarn in a classic shade, and Sandnes Duo in Light Beige [3021] is exactly that. This yarn is a clever blend of 55% merino wool and 45% pima cotton, making it a fantastic year-round choice. If you have ever found pure wool a little too "itchy" or prickly, this is the alternative you’ve been waiting for. The pima cotton ensures it is incredibly soft against the skin, while the merino wool provides that essential lightness, elasticity, and insulation that pure cotton sometimes lacks.

The Light Beige colour is a soft, sandy hue that feels timeless and sophisticated. It’s a dream for showing off intricate stitch patterns, cables, or simple, clean textures. Because the wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in water without feeling wet, it’s a brilliant performer for garments that need to keep you comfortable in changing weather. Whether it’s a spring cardigan or a summer top for a breezy evening, this yarn keeps you just the right temperature.

Softness you can trust

We particularly recommend Sandnes Duo for baby clothes and accessories. Since it doesn't itch and breathes beautifully, it’s very gentle on sensitive skin. It knits up on a 3.5mm needle with a tension of 22 stitches to 10cm, giving you a fabric that has a lovely drape and a high-quality feel.

To keep your Light Beige knits looking fresh, we suggest a gentle wool programme in your washing machine. A good spin is vital to remove excess water from the merino fibres before laying the garment flat to dry on a towel. This honest, hard-working yarn is a joy to have on the needles and even better to wear. It’s authentic crafting at its most comfortable!
