"Frija"
The wife of Wodan and Queen of Ensigart, Frija is the matron of good, strong marriage, childbirth and child bearing, and domestic craft ~ most especially spinning. The distaff and spindle are long-held symbols of this beloved Norse Goddess of Danish origin.

"Paivatar"
Paivatar is the virginial Sun Goddess of Finnish mythology. She lives in the sky and weaves the golden light of day. Her symbols are a batten, a heddle and a golden spindle.

80% Superwash Merino / 10% Cashmere / 10% Nylon, Sport
Needle Size: 2-4 US or 2-3.25mm
Gauge: 26-30 stitches / 4 inches

Please note that this yarn requires two skeins for one pair of adult socks, for most patterns. Although I used one skein of Paivatar to knit a simple K2-P1 rib sock in ladies size 8-1/2 with a generous leg, if you plan to knit more elaborate patterns or cables (or a larger size), more than one skein of Paivatar will be required.

This yarn would be fabulous for gloves, mittens, fingerless mitts and hats ~ items that would require only one skein.

Yarns by  Spirit-Trail Fiberworks


I live my life in wandering rings
which spread out over earth and sky.
I may not ever complete the last one
but that is what I will try.
I circle around God, the primordial tower,
and I circle ten thousand years long;
and I still don't know if I'm a falcon, a storm,
or an unfinished song.

Rainer Maria Rilke
