Pickles Sommerull

A yarn specially developed for nordic summers.

Summer Yarn. Pickles Sommerull is a sophisticated blend of merino lambswool and organic cotton, creating a truly unique, soft, and lightweight yarn. The merino wool adds bounce and elasticity, ensuring that your knitted garments keep their shape and don’t stretch out with wear.
This yarn is perfect for summer knitting but also works beautifully as a year-round yarn for those who love a touch of luxury in their everyday knits. The wool content enhances the knitting experience—it glides smoothly over the needles, isn’t stiff or tiring to work with, and helps you achieve an even and beautiful stitch definition.   Pickles Sommerull is a yarn specially developed for Nordic summers. While we’re used to wearing wool in winter, it’s actually a fantastic temperature-regulating material—keeping you cool in warm weather and providing warmth when it’s cold.
Think of animals grazing in the mountains, enduring both hot summer days and chilly nights—their wool protects them in all conditions. Wool is also self-cleaning, meaning garments stay fresher for longer and can be aired out instead of washed. This reduces your environmental footprint and makes it the perfect yarn for vacation and cabin wardrobe essentials.   55% Merino Lambswool, 45% Organic Cotton | 50 g skeins | 175 meters | Knits on 3-4.5 mm needles | Gauge per 10 cm: 18-22 stitches / 24-32 rows | Hand wash  

Knitting Patterns and Yarn Kits

Pickles Summer Wool is ideal for patterns knitted on 3 mm - 4.5 mm needles and is just as good for babies and children as for sophisticated adult garments. It gives a good stitch pattern and is ideal for textured knits and cables. Since the colors are slightly mottled, it also gives a beautiful look in simple stockinette stitch. If you are unsure whether Pickles Summer Wool is suitable for the project you are knitting, you can send us an email or a message on instagramand we will help you further!   Here you will find all our knitting patterns and yarn kits made in the yarn.   We recommend hand washing in lukewarm/cold water, but you can centrifuge the garment (make sure you don't set the rinse program, only the centrifuge) to get the most out of the water. Then lay the garment straight on the floor and stretch/block it into the shape you want. The garment will dry in a few hours.
