Yarn

Isager Silk Mohair ISAGER SILK MOHAIR is with its blend of 25% silk and 75% super kid mohair a beautiful, soft and shiny yarn with a light and fluffy structure. We use it primarily together with other yarns, but it is also beautiful used individually perhaps especially in a simple design. A structured pattern will not show in this yarn, unless the Silk Mohair is knitted together with another smoother yarn. As Silk Mohair is soft and fluffy, some shedding must be expected both while knitting and from the finished project. The shedding will deteriorate in time but please consider with which garments Silk Mohair is worn. Isager Silk Mohair is of finest quality with long fibers which reduce shedding.  It is arguably the softest yarn we carry at Kani Kettu.

Isager Jensen - Ase Lund Jensen's Legacy, modernized. Originally, Isager Jensen Yarn was named ÅLJ after knitwear designer Åse Lund Jensen. In the 1960s, Åse Lund Jensen sold handknitted sweaters, she knitted in a heavy Swedish yarn. The heavy weight of the finished garments made shipping costs outside Denmark much too expensive, and this led to a new cooperation between Åse Lund Jensen and the Danish spinning mill, Henrichsens Uldspinderi in Skive. Together, they developed a lighter 3-ply yarn, ÅLJ and introduced it in a new natural color range which Isager is still the base for our Jensen Yarn, Spinni and Tvinni.The white wool origins from New Zealand, and the brown and grey wools used for the s-colors origin from Gotland sheep in Europe. The supplier in New Zealand is a brand partner of the Wool Integrity program that ensures that the principals under this program such as animal welfare, environmental sustainability and traceability are met. Follow this link to read more about Wool Integrity: https://www.woolintegrity.com/Jensen yarn is chemically dyed but based on the color range of natural dyes Åse Lund Jensen chose for her yarn. The colors 0, 0s, 2s and 3s are undyed and unbleached. All other colors are Oekotex 100 colors from Europe, but since the spinning mill in Skive has not been certified, the product can’t carry the Oekotex 100 label.As this is a 3-ply yarn, it is a firm and evenly spun yarn well suited for texture knitting as it allows the texture to stand out well. The yarn is very durable and wears out beautifully in the same way as Tvinni. We recommend this yarn especially for indoor and outdoor garments.

North Ave. Twists Plied is a yarn line that Karida Collins (Neighborhood Fiber Co.) and Ann Weaver (weaverknits) conceived when touring the Harrisville Designs mill in New Hampshire. North Ave is their first yarn: a 100% wool, two-ply, woolen spun, fingering weight yarn, spun at Harrisville and hand-dyed in Baltimore. To celebrate the city of Baltimore—both its past and its current developments—Plied colors are named for Baltimore traditions, locations, and personalities. North Ave is a major east-west artery in Baltimore and the location of many cultural landmarks in the city. It is part of old Route 1, so before I95 was built, it was the way people traveled all along the east coast, from Florida to Maine. Additionally, it used to be the northern boundary of the city—everything north of that was the suburbs! For much of Baltimore's early history, North Ave was a thriving center of arts and business, but it fell into disrepair in the second half of the twentieth century. Today, the city has designated sections of North Ave as Arts and Entertainment districts, which is driving revitalization.
