Teflon Wool
If you thought Teflon was just for cookwear, think again. Dale of Norway - known for its detailed, colourful outdoor knitwear - has just begun applying this same material to its yarns. Dale's new Teflon-treated yarn is called Hauk. It's so new, in fact, that most stores won't be getting their order for a few weeks yet. Be patient, and read on so you'll know what to expect. Hauk is totally interchangeable with Dale's non-Teflon, pure-wool counterpart, Heilo, which means you'll have plenty of patterns at your disposal. Heilo is also the oldest yarn from Dale, having been produced since 1938.
