The heritage of Norwegian knitting has been preserved, documented and translated into English language history, and pattern books, that are available to modern knitters, mostly notably by the author Annemor Sundbø.

Yarn is selected for different textiles based on the characteristics of the yarn fibres, such as warmth (wool), light weight (cotton or rayon), durability (nylon is added to sock yarn, for example), or softness (cashmere, alpaca). Yarn is composed of twisted strands of fiber, which are known as plies when grouped together. [19]

Each stitch in a course is made by many different yarns.
