KOS is a light, airy yarn crafted with baby alpaca, wool & nylon. The lightness of the yarn comes from the unique construction of soft alpaca fibers encased within a nylon chainette tube. This also helps the yarn to maintain shaping when knit into a garment. KOS has a beautiful hand with a gorgeous halo that knits into lovely cardigans, pullovers, hats & mittens. Based in Sandnes, Norway, Sandnes Garn is one of the oldest mills in Norway. With a focus on positive business practices, the yarns produced by Sandnes Garn are beautiful to knit, durable & create gorgeous fabrics for garments & accessories. The collection of nature-inspired modern colorways & stunning, wearable patterns are an inspiration to knitters around the globe.
