Isager Tweed Bottle Green

ISAGER TWEED is a single-ply yarn with a blend of wool and mohair. The yarn has a raw appearance, but the mohair fiber in the yarn helps make it remarkably soft and gives it a shiny luster. If you knit this beautiful yarn together with other Isager yarns like Soft Mohair or Alpaca 1 or 2, it works excellently to knit with circular needles. However, since the yarn is single-ply and therefore spun in only one direction, it can tend to twist if knitted in the round on circular needles when knitted alone without a companion thread. We recommend knitting back and forth on circular needles or straight needles, but as mentioned, there is no problem if you knit it together with other yarn qualities; then there will be no problem knitting in the round on circular needles.

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.
