  • The Brand
  • ‘A Knitting Life – Back to Tversted’ is a brand new book, and the first in a series of 3 books about Marianne Isager’s five decades of knitting.

    Back to Tversted is inspired by Marianne Isager’s first 20 years as a knitwear designer and as owner of the yarn company, ISAGER.

    Marianne tells about her inheritance from Ã…se Lund Jensen and about her efforts to combine family life and knitting life in the small village of Tversted.

    The book contains stories and pictures from the 70s and 80s, and 15 new patterns with knitting instructions using the same techniques seen in designs from the two decades.

    Book 2 “Out in the World” is available here.

  • The Danish company Isager has since 1977 been supplying patterns and quality yarns made from natural fibres, both known and loved by knitters the world over. The yarns and patterns are sold in selected shops in Denmark and internationally. The founder of Isager, Marianne Isager, and her daughter and co owner of the company Helga Isager, are behind a line of popular knitting books.

     With her brand Amimono, Helga Isager has since 2005 been part of renewing knitting both as a craft and as a fashion phenomenon. Her ability to place traditional knitting techniques in a contemporary context paired with her curious exploration of the never ending possibilities hidden in a ball of yarn and a set of knitting needles, has evoked a response particularly with the younger audience. Throughout the years Helga Isager has given numerous classes in both Denmark and Sweden, just as she has worked as a guest teacher at Skals – Højskolen for Design og Håndarbejde.

    Helga Isager is the author of several knitting books published in both Denmark and internationally. In 2013 the Swedish publishers Natur & Kultur (Nature & Culture) published her book Finstickat. Today the book is translated into several languages.

    Marianne Isager has, throughout the last 40 years, been at the forefront of Danish knit design, and through her extensive production of patterns and books she has been instrumental in maintaining the continuous development of the old craft. Marianne Isager is also known for her instructive courses, lectures, her numerous exhibitions and classes and her workshop business. The former often have their background in her inspirational travels to Latin America, Asia and Africa, and in her work as an NGO in countries as different as Peru, Nepal and Greenland. In addition to this Marianne Isager is the author of a string of inspiring knitting books, published both in Denmark and internationally.

    Today Marianne Isager lives half of the year in Japan, where she resides in Tokyo. The other half she spends in Tversted, the area in North Jutland where she grew up. Here she also runs her popular summer workshops.
