Isager Merilin - 16s

We were at Isager in Tverstad, Denmark, and it was here that I made the pleasant acquaintance with the beautiful and soft yarn Merilin!

When there is an S after the color code, the linen is first dyed black, which creates the beautiful melange.

MERILIN is a three-ply yarn with a blend of wool and linen. Because the yarn is three-ply, it looks really nice in textured knitting. At the same time, it is a soft yarn that can be used by many who otherwise cannot tolerate wool. The linen fiber lies as a smooth fiber over the wool yarn and also helps create a beautiful color play in the yarn, since linen does not absorb the wool dye. The yarn is excellent for children's clothes, cardigans, shawls, etc., and for those who have difficulty wearing wool.

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 like our organic one from Eucalan or Isager's own Wool Detergent; we have both. Maintain the same temperature throughout the washing and rinsing process and finally do not wash above 28 degrees. The kni

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.
