SWEDISH YARNS

摘要

This 2.5/2 wool is the authentic yarn used for rya and flossa pile rugs. It is a heavy-duty two-ply wool yarn with a fair amount of twist and a beautiful sheen. The traditional warp yarn used with Asborya is a high-twist 8/3 linen rug yarn that creates a firm and durable base for the resulting rug. I have also experimented using the Asborya yarn as warp for different fabrics as well as for beautiful knitted mittens. Note: All samples were woven on a traditional Swedish loom using metric reeds. As such, all setts are given in ends/picks per centimeter or 10 centimeters, with approximate calculations for ends per inch (epi) and picks per inch (ppi) in parentheses.
