Sock Yarn | Isager

Isager's innovative sock yarn doesn't compromise on strength or sustainability. Made from Easy-Wash alpaca, Easy-Wash merino, and recycled nylon, this yarn is everything you could want from a sock yarn and more. While the alpaca and merino give it a softness and delicacy, the washability and the nylon also give it strength, longevity, and ease.

EASY WASH is the environmental friendly alternative to the standard chlorine process used to make the fibres machine washable without shrinking. The Easy-Wash process is a treatment with eco-friendly oxidants, sourced in Germany and certified under REACH, Oeko-tex and ZDH (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemical) standards. This means that this treatment does not involve the discharge of hazardous chemicals, which is not the case with most machine washable yarns in today’s market.

20% of the yarn contents is recycled nylon which applies strength to the yarn. For the first time, ISAGER uses a synthetic fiber in a yarn, but it was impossible to find a yarn in natural fibres that offered softness and comfort, and at the same time was strong enough to offer the durabiliy required for a traditional sock yarn. The recycled nylon is an industrial waste product that normally would be disposed.

This sock yarn isn't only for socks - it's a great option for baby and toddler knits, or for any items you wish to throw into the washing machine with the rest of your clothes.
