"Triple knitting" appeared in all the main manufacturers product lines in the 1960s; although more or less a worsted weight it did not seem to become popular enough to gain the traction in the UK to replace double knitting as the standard yarn. However, this yarn weight ("worsted") seems to be more the standard in America.

Description: Sixties Norwegian styled sweater.
I'm a bit puzzled by the yarn weight of Emu "Fiord". This pattern seems to be from the 1960s and the yarn tension and needles imply it is definitely a double knitting weight. I have other patterns from the 1970s with a definite chunky tension. I can only think that Emu retained the brand name Fiord and used it in a later decade for a different yarn. (Ravelry seems to show the later yarn on the website).
