Sunne, Värmland, Sweden

The yarn Inez uses are from Norway. She finds that the norweigian yarn is of a especially high quality unlike other yarns. It is soft and easy to knit with. Inez buys her wool from a local knitting store in Sunne: www.lillagarnverstan.se. The yarn is from Rauma Ullvarefabrikk's website: www.rauma.no

The artefact is made with stockinette stitch and entrelac

Functional hat

Inez estimates that she's made more than 20 hats in entrelac

Inez was thought how to knit from her maternal great grandmother. Entrelac/näverstickning has associations to the Finn Foest where she grew up. This technique was brought over with the forest finns who emigrated to Sweden in the 17th century.
