Hillesvåg Ask is a light and lofty 2-ply sport weight yarn spun from 100% Norwegian wool. Ask is spun at the renowned Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, a fourth generation family-owned mill that's been producing wool since 1898. Ask produces durable, light, airy and warm garments that get better with every wash.
With its expansive color range, this versatile yarn is well suited for multi-colored patterns, structured knitting, solid color knitting, and felting. Due to the airiness of the yarn, it can be used with different knitting tensions creating beautiful knitted fabric!

I'm so excited to begin the upcoming sweater KAL using this lovely yarn. The color is gorgeous; it should showcase the lace in the Veronica cardigan beautifully!

Great Colors
These colors are amazing, the wool is nice. I can't wait to see how it knits. I am having a bit of a time getting it caked. Two of the eight hanks are caked and both were tangled and uncooperative to wind. The third was so much trouble that I found the other end and hand wound it. Still have five to go. It is probably not helping that it is mid 90s, no A/C. If I purchase this again I would be willing to pay someone else to wind it into cakes.
