Isager Aran Tweed - Red

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. When knitted together with Silk Mohair or Alpaca 1, the rough yarn becomes very soft and is also perfect for scarves and hats. Although Aran Tweed is only available in a few beautiful shades, combining it with other yarns can make it look as if 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 consistent throughout the washing and rinsing process, and do not exceed 28 degrees. After washing, the knitted garment can be gently spun-dried. Place the garment in a laundry bag or pillowcase. After spinning, lay the garment out on, for example, towels to dry.

A wool garment does not need to be washed very often. Usually, it is sufficient to hang the garment up to air. Cotton yarn and yarn blends 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-treated, as the available treatments are not without side effects for allergy sufferers and only last until the first wash.
