Isager Aran Tweed - Confetti

ISAGER ARAN TWEED is a thick, single-ply yarn with a raw and slightly rough texture. It is suitable for thick sweaters, and the designer My Favorite Things Knitwear has designed such a beautiful skirt in Aran Tweed held together with 1 strand of Isager Silk Mohair. It is also suitable for cushions. If you knit it together with Silk Mohair or Alpaca 1, the rough yarn becomes so soft that it is also perfect for scarves and hats. Although Aran Tweed is available in only a few beautiful shades, combining it with other yarns can make it look as though it comes in many more colours.

Care instructions
Wool should be hand-washed unless you have a washing machine with a very gentle wool cycle that uses cold water. Use an approved wool detergent. Keep the temperature the same throughout the washing and rinsing process, and never wash above 28 degrees. The knitted garment may be gently spun after washing. Place the garment in a laundry bag or pillowcase. After spinning, lay the garment flat on, for example, towels to dry.

It is not necessary to wash a wool garment very often. Usually, it is sufficient to hang the garment up to air. Cotton yarn and yarn blends with linen and bamboo can withstand higher washing temperatures, but we recommend washing them in the same way as wool yarn.

Storage
Remember to store yarn and knitting in plastic bags, tightly woven cotton bags, or a plastic box with a lid. This is because Isager yarns are not moth-treated, as the available treatments are not free from side effects for allergy sufferers and, moreover, only last until the first wash.
