Isager Soft Fine With its softness and brushed feel, ECO SOFT has become extremely popular, and we decided to introduce a similar but finer version. ISAGER SOFT is a tube yarn of cotton in which alpaca fibers are infused and it can only be produced as a thick yarn. ISAGER SOFT FINE has a core of silk on which a strand of alpaca and yak is added as a loopy bouclé, which is then finally brushed to make a fluffy yarn. Even if the production and the fibers are different to Isager Soft, we find quite a similarity in the textures of the two yarns. ISAGER SOFT FINE contains wool from yaks and the depth of the colors derives from the dark color of the yak wool, – exactly as we know from the S-colors of white and black wool. Its softness compares to Silk Mohair, knitting with this yarn, however, is a completely different experience, especially when knitting with one strand only. The yarn is unbelievable soft and our inhouse-name for this yarn is ‘Isager’s cashmere’. GaugeIsager Soft Fine: 10 cm = 3,5 mm needle – 21 sts / 32 rowsIsager Soft Fine: 10 cm = 4,5 mm  needle – 16 sts / 26 rowsIsager Soft Fine: 10 cm = 6,0 needle – 13 sts /26  rows Materials 63% Alpaca, 26% Silk and 11% Yak Meterage: 300 m / 50 g Fingering Weight Spun in Peru Note: The yarns with the brown labels are undyed / natural colors The yarns with the black labels are dyed

SPINNI is a single ply natural wool. In the olden days in Iceland this yarn was hand spun and preferably so fine that a finished shawl could be pulled through a finger ring.Spinni is not quite as fine and we use the yarn in many different ways. When used on its own it is very suitable for lace shawls and one of its qualities is that it keeps its shape, so a scarf or shawl will not ‘collapse’.As Spinni is a single yarn spun in a single direction, it is not really suitable for knitting stocking stitch in the round. The knitted fabric will have a tendency to skew. If working in the round in a textured pattern this will not normally be a problem.In a multicoloured work Spinni will often be used as one of the yarns and with its beautiful and characteristic structure it is a lovely element in the knitted fabric. Gauge Spinni: 3 mm needles = 26 sts/ 30 rowsSpinni + Alpaca 1: 3 mm needles = 24 sts/ 28 rowsSpinni + Alpaca 2: 3,5 mm needles = 20 sts/ 26 rowsSpinni + Silk Mohair: 4 mm needles= 18 sts/ 24 rows Material 100% wool (single ply)Meterage 600 m in 100 g | 300 m in 50gThe yarn is spun and dyed in Denmark

Isager Hoer Organic ISAGER HØR ORGANIC is a 100% linen yarn that is perfect for warmer weather.  A favorite yarn for summer garments in Denmark, it can be used individually with two or more strands held together, or it can be knitted with other Isager yarns. However, do not knit in the rounds as the garment will skew. When working a knitting technique with this yarn, e.g. a structure pattern or a jacquard pattern in a two or more colored pattern, it can be knitted in the round. The colour range has 6 colours which blends perfectly into our shade card – and the colour combinations with other Isager yarns are endless. The yarn consists of 100% organic fibres but the dyes are non organic – with the exception for the undyed colour Linen, of course. This yarn is the fine alternative for people with wool allergies. Recommended Gauge Hør Organic: 3 mm needles = 26 sts / 34 rowsHør Organic + Alpaca 1: 3 mm needles = 20 sts / 24 rowsHør Organic + Alpaca 2: 3,5 mm needles = 18 sts / 22 rowsHør Organic held double: 3,5 mm needles = 19 sts / 20 rows Material 100% linenMeterage 356 in 100 g Spun from organic fibersSpun and dyed in Italy

Palet ISAGER PALET s a matte, thicker ‘summer yarn‘ than Bomulin, and it adds an interesting structure when worked together with other yarns. The yarn works well alone but also held double while knitting with other yarns, for example SILK MOHAIR or other summer yarns such as TRIO, JAPANESE COTTON, ALPACA 1 and ORGANIC HØR. The ribbon-spun yarn also gives a nice effect once knit up. The colors in this yarn are close to the colors found in the TRIO yarns. Gauge Palet: 3 mm needles = 24 sts / 28 rowsPalet + Alpaca 1: 3.5 mm needles = 22 sts/ 26 rowsPalet + Alpaca 2: 4 mm needles = 18 sts/ 22 rowsPalet + Silk Mohair: 4.5 mm needles = 16 sts / 20 rows Material 100% cotton Meterage:  160 m per 50 gSpun and dyed in Italy
