The shop in Chiswick will be taking an Easter break from Thu 17th Apr. We will be back on Wed 7th May. Last day to place an order before the break is Tue 15th Apr. All orders received after this day will be shipped starting from Wed 7th May.
ISAGER TWEED is a single ply yarn with a mixture of wool and mohair.
The yarn has a raw expression, but the mohair fiber in the yarn helps to make it remarkably soft and give it a shiny sheen.
The yarn is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and with its small speckles in other colors it has a very lively surface.
Since the yarn is single ply and therefore only spun in the same direction, it can tend to pull crookedly if knitted in the round on a circular needle.
We recomment knitting flat. I the yarn is held together with other yarn qualities for colourwork projects or stockinette stitch, it will not be a problem to knit in the round.
