ALV (Elf) Tapestry Yarn
This Norwegian tapestry yarn is a 2-ply worsted yarn made from 100% combed long fiber wool. It works beautifully for woven tapestry. Kathe uses four strands together, with a sett of 10 warps per inch. There are 700 meters in 100 grams (Approx. 765 yards / 3.5 ounces or 218.5 yards per ounce). NOTE: We sell it only in units of one or more ounces!!
The cost $4.00 per ounce plus cone price of 25 cents. If you provide the paper cone, we will take off the 25 cents. Inquire about cone size. Our winding machine will only use a larger style cone such as those used for standard weaving yarns, not the smaller ones that usually came with the Australian tapestry yarns.
Here is a view of the colors. However, computer monitors vary greatly so we suggest that you order a yarn card and base your color choices on that card instead of your monitor. The color card costs $3.00. NOTE: The color card is actually made from this company's 3-ply yarn which is a larger size than the 2-ply one we sell. The colors are the same however. They include a sample of the 2-ply yarn in the lower right hand corner of the color card. The title of the sample says: ALV Kval. prøve which means ELF sample.
