Isager Alpaca 1 -4s

ISAGER ALPACA 1 is a perfect companion yarn that you can replace with Soft Silk Mohair.

You can also knit the soft Alpaca yarn by itself for e.g. scarves or shawls.

The color range is incredibly beautiful in itself but also creates an exciting effect if you want to knit together with other yarn.

ISAGER ALPACA 1 is a fine, soft, and thin, 100% alpaca yarn, spun with 2 strands. You can knit it by itself but it is mostly knitted as a companion yarn together with Isager's other yarns.

Here you can also play with the colors. One strand of Alpaca 1 can give an exciting color effect when knitted together with other colors. The yarn can also tie the colors together if many different colors are knitted in one model.

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. Maintain the same temperature throughout the washing and rinsing process and finally do not wash above 28 degrees. 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, for example, towels to dry.

It is not necessary to wash a wool garment so often. Usually, it is enough to hang the garment up for airing. Cotton yarn and blended yarn 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 yarn is not treated for moths, as the agents used are not without side effects for allergy sufferers and only last until the first wash.
