SandnesGarn
June 28th, 2007 by Cecilie | Filed under Random.SandnesGarn is Norwegian yarn company, they are actually a working mill at the moment as well. Since they’re doing all these things, as well as distrubuting the yarn themselves one would think editing their yarn on ravelry was easy, eh?
Ah, no… their website dosen’t even have a complete list of their current yarns and just forget about the discontinued ones, because they apperntly have. This is making me groan.
The fact that they changed their name from Sandnes Uldvarefabrik AS a couple of years ago dosen’t really help either.
My main pet peeve is how hard finding the info I need is though, so tomorrow I’m going to call the company and see what they can do for me on that end of things. This probably wouldn’t be needed if it was an american company since their yarn is being sold all over the web with info, but mine isn’t
Thomasina posted a “Yarn Weight System” on Ravelry, and I love it
