Alpaca 3 - E8s

ISAGER ALPACA 3 is a "tub spun" yarn that contains 50% wool and 50% alpaca. Same quality as Alpaca 2. It is characterized by being soft and very airy due to the spinning. Knitted alone, it is wonderful in a sweater such as does not become heavy, even if the yarn is thick. The yarn works best if it is knitted on thick needles. Alpaca 3 is knitted on needle size 5 for fixed edges, but is otherwise best on needle size 6 or 7.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

Wool is washed by hand, unless you have a washing machine with a very gentle wool program that can be washed in cold water. To avoid wrinkling the finished knitted model, only a little soap is used. Use an approved wool detergent. Keep the same temperature throughout the washing and rinsing process and finally do not wash above 28 degrees. The knitted model can advantageously be spun easily after washing. Place the model in a laundry bag or pillow case. After the centrifugation, the model is laid out to dry on towels.

It is not necessary to wash a wool model often. It is often enough to hang it up for ventilation in damp weather. Cotton yarn and mixed yarn with flax and bamboo can withstand higher washing temperatures, but we recommend the same wash as the wool yarn.
STORAGE

Remember to store yarn and knitting in plastic bags or tightly woven cotton bags. A bucket or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid is also suitable.
Isager yarns are not moth-treated, as the agents available are not without side effects in relation to allergy sufferers and also only last for the first wash.
