Isager Aran Tweed - Green

ISAGER ARAN TWEED is a thick single-ply yarn with a raw and slightly rough texture. It is suitable for thick sweaters, and designer My favorite Thing has knitted such a beautiful skirt in Aran Tweed together with 1 strand of Isager Soft Mohair. It is also suitable for cushions. If you knit it together with S Silk Mohair or Alpaca 1, the rough yarn becomes so soft and is also perfect for scarves and hats. Although Aran Tweed is only available in a few beautiful shades, when knitted together with other yarns, it can look like it comes in many more colors.

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.
