Isager Aran Tweed - Grey

ISAGER ARAN TWEED is a thick, single-ply yarn with a raw and slightly rustic 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 rustic yarn becomes so soft that it is also perfect for scarves and hats. Although Aran Tweed is available in only a few beautiful shades, when knitted together with another yarn it can 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 programme 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 can be gently spun after washing. Place the garment in a laundry bag or pillowcase. After spinning, lay the garment out on, for example, towels to dry.

It is not necessary to wash a wool garment very often. It is usually sufficient to hang the garment up to air. Cotton yarn and blended yarns containing 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-proofed, as the available treatments can cause side effects for allergy sufferers and only last until the first wash.
