Isager Silk Mohair 32

ISAGER SILK MOHAIR is an incredibly soft yarn with a beautiful sheen due to its blend of 25% silk and 75% super kid mohair. It is so light and fluffy in its texture. We primarily use it together with other yarns, but it is also beautiful on its own and perhaps especially in a simple design. A textured pattern does not show in this yarn unless Silk Mohair is knitted together with another smoother yarn. Since Silk Mohair is soft and fluffy, some shedding must be expected both during knitting and from the finished project. Isager Silk Mohair is of the finest quality with long fibers.

Petiteknit has designed the classic Cumulus blouse in two strands of Soft Silk Mohair:

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. Keep the same temperature throughout the washing and rinsing process and do not wash above 28 degrees Celsius. 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 towels to dry.

It is not necessary to wash a wool garment very often. Usually, it is enough to hang the garment out to air. Cotton yarn and blended yarns with linen and bamboo tolerate higher washing temperatures, but we recommend the same washing instructions 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 yarns are not treated against moths, as the agents available have side effects for allergy sufferers and only last until the first wash.
