About Alpaca 2

About Isager

Isager is a distinguished Danish yarn brand with a heritage dating back to 1977, known for its timeless, natural‑fibre yarns and thoughtful, refined colour palette. Rooted in Danish knitwear tradition and inspired by Nordic design, Isager blends classic simplicity with high‑quality materials — from wool and alpaca to linen and mohair — to create yarns that knit beautifully and wear with enduring elegance.

The brand’s story began with designer Åse Lund Jensen, whose pioneering work in knitting as a serious craft laid the foundation for Isager’s artistic and technical approach to yarn and pattern design. Today, under the guidance of Marianne Isager and her daughter Helga Isager, the company continues to design and supply yarns and patterns that are beloved by makers around the world.

Isager’s yarn range is celebrated for its harmonious colour system, natural materials, and versatility across techniques including knitting, crochet, embroidery, and weaving. Many of its core yarn qualities — such as the iconic Jensen, Spinni, and Tvinni bases — have been trusted by knitters for decades, offering fibres that combine traditional Scandinavian inspiration with enduring practicality and style.

Why you'll love Commercially Dyed Yarn

Commercially dyed yarn is dyed in large vats, usually made into large hanks of 1 kilo or more. The yarn is dyed to an extremely precise, all over colour using gradually rising heat. You can generally expect commercially dyed yarn to be very even and dye baths to be exact.

Commercially dyed yarn is wonderful for projects where you want a consistent, all over colour, or even colourwork pieces like fair isle or stranded knitting.

Care Instructions

Items made from this yarn should be carefully washed by hand in cool water using a gentle wool detergent or wool wash.
Keep agitation to an absolute minimum while washing to avoid unnecessary stress on the fibres.
Never wring or twist your finished piece.
Gently squeeze out as much water as possible, then roll the item in a towel and press to remove excess moisture. Lay flat to dry, carefully shaping it back to its original dimensions.

This fibre does not need to be washed after every wear. It is naturally breathable, so washing is only necessary when the item looks (or, occasionally, smells) like it needs it.

Benefits of this Yarn

Fibre blends such as this one have benefits inherited from the different fibres blended together

100% Natural: both fibres are natural and biodegradable
Warm yet breathable: Alpaca is exceptionally warm, the wool gives this blend a little more breathability and elasticity.
Sustainable & Renewable: both fibres in this blend are safe, sustainable and renewable
Flame retardant (safe for all humans)
Wrinkle resistent
The 50/50 blend is balanced between both, the result being warmer than wool and at the same time, it can be more drapey and lustrous depending on how the specific yarn is spun.
