ISAGER BABY consists of 68% Baby Alpaca and 32% Organic Pima cotton. The yarn has a length of 150 m per 50 g, and we knit it on needles size 4 – 5. This becomes incredibly soft and therefore the quality is suitable for knitting for the very smallest. We can also recommend it for people with sensitive skin who normally cannot tolerate wool on their body.
Isager Baby is very suitable for baby clothes and smaller sizes but be careful with the larger sizes, especially with large needles as it tends to "grow".

I have knitted baby sweaters and they turn out fantastic.

Washing instructions

Wool should be hand washed, unless you have a washing machine with a very gentle wool program that can wash in cold water. Use an approved wool detergent. Keep the same temperature throughout the washing and rinsing process and finally do not wash above 28 degrees Celsius. The knitted garment can advantageously be gently spun after washing. Place the garment in a laundry bag or a pillowcase. After spinning, lay the garment out on towels to dry.

It is not necessary to wash a wool garment very often. Usually, it is enough to hang the garment out to air. Cotton yarn and blended yarns with linen and bamboo tolerate higher washing temperatures, but we recommend the same washing as for wool yarn.

Storage

Remember to store yarn and knitting in plastic bags or tightly woven cotton bags or in a plastic box with a lid. This is because Isager yarns are not treated against moths, as the agents available have side effects for allergy sufferers and only last until the first wash.
