Dalegarn Hauk: Teflon Coated Knitting Yarn
Dale of Norway has recently started manufacturing a teflon-coated knitting yarn that sheds water and is intended for use in all-weather knitting projects.
Knitter's Review gave the telfon coated yarn a test drive and found that it knitted up much like its non-teflon counterpart and was a great addition to the Dalegarn range. It's not an end-all solution to getting wet, but it will give you a little added protection.
From a wearability standpoint, it is highly durable and entirely appropriate for all everyday garb. Suitable for both the teenage outdoor sports lover and worth keeping in mind for the family dog.
Dalegarn Hauk is not available in Australia but should be relatively easy for the intrepid online shopper to track down. If any Guild members know of a reliable supplier of Dale yarns, please let us know.

Thanks for the info on Dalegarn teflon yarn, it was great to read up some more on it, but also the link to the knitter who had road tested it. Cheers again!
