- The Brand
-
This brand new vegan yarn by Isager was developed to be a more eco-friendly alternative to bamboo, but equally soft.
It was developed to be a softer, more pliable alternative to Isager Hør linen, so you can sub this in to all the patterns written for Hør.
Unlike 100% linen, this yarn is soft and easy to work with right off the ball. It’s gorgeous alone for a drapey Summer knit, or combined with another Isager yarn for something warmer.
ISAGER TRIO 2 is made of 50% linen, 30% cotton and 20% Lyocell (or Tencel – from eucalyptus wood). This yarn can be used individually, with one, two, three or more strands, or it can be knitted with other Isager yarns.
With 12 colours matching the other ISAGER colours – and can be combined endlessly. Each fibre takes on dye slightly differently which give the yarn, and resulting fabric more interest.

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.
Yarns bearing the same numbers can replace each other and a number 1 yarn combined with a number 2 yarn can be worked together to make a yarn equivalent to a number 3 yarn.
Yarns marked with * are suitable for machine knitting.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.
