Pickles Merino Worsted (Tjukk Merino)

Pickles was founded in 2009 in Norway. Two advertising agency colleagues Heidi Grønvold and Anna Enge started Pickles as a knitting blog where they shared ideas with each other. (Think of it as a Norwegian Modern Daily Knitting.) They quickly gained a following and starting their own line was the next logical step. For years the yarn could only be purchased in their Oslo store or website, now a select group of stores outside of Norway carry their yarn. We are the only US store.  

The first yarn we brought in is Pickles Merino Worsted (Tjukk Merino). This is their softest yarn. It is loosely spun and can be used on everything from tightly knitted projects on thin needles, to airy garments. The yarn is made from very soft fibers which are found on the innermost part of the sheep’s fleece. It can be knit on its own or with a strand of mohair.
