Isager Highland - Wine

ISAGER HIGHLAND is spun from sheep's wool from Peru. The fine yarn is characterized by its beautiful colors as the wool is dyed in many shades before it is spun. Highland is not as tightly spun as Tvinni and therefore feels softer, but the yarn can replace Tvinni and Alpaca 2. In terms of softness and durability, the quality lies between these two. The yarn works well in pattern knitting with other qualities, and it does not twist when knitted on circular needles. Highland looks so beautiful on its own, but the yarn can also be knitted together with other qualities.

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.
