• The Brand

• Isager Aran Tweed is gorgeously, ruggedly textured and tweedy.

  This Aran-weight single ply is perfect for warm sweaters, thick, rustic shawls, as well as soft furnishings like throws or cushions.

  For something a little softer, it’s amazing when held together with Silk Mohair, Alpaca 1, or Alpaca 2 – makes amazing hats and scarves.

  And don’t worry about the limited palette – we love to mix with a contrast colour for extra depth and tweediness. Add Silk Mohair for extra sheen too!

  This yarn has a slightly irregular, homespun look with small flecks of different tweedy colours which makes it even more fun to work with and creates a lively fabric.

• ISAGER YARNS

  Renowned for classic yarns made from natural fibres, well suited for knitting, crochet, weaving and embroidery.

  All the wool qualities are ideal for felting and for dyeing with plant dyes.

  It is important to us that our yarns are produced with the greatest amount of care taken to both animals and humans.

  THE COLOUR RANGE

  Carefully created so the colours work well together both within and across the qualities. We rarely change the colours, as the range primarily consists of BASIC COLOURS, amongst which contemporary colours can always be found.

  The colours and qualities of our finer yarns can be mixed to create unique pieces.

  As a rule, single ply, densely spun yarns should not be used individually for working in the round, as they may pull the finished work. When worked together with other qualities this problem is avoided.
