Tweed | Isager

Isager's Tweed is a lovely single-ply wool yarn with added mohair for softness, sheen, and strength. At a versatile fingering-weight, you can hold this yarn single, double, or with a lace-weight yarn. The single ply texture gives a beautiful "lived-in" look once knitted up, and the tweed flecks will speckle your project with hints of brighter colours.

The wool in this yarn is from Australia and is guaranteed mulesing-free. The mohair comes from South Africa. The fiber is then spun and dyed in Ireland. Isager holds high standards for animal welfare, sustainability, and environmental impact. Their yarns come from farms where mulesing is not practiced, and their dye and chemical usage adhere to Denmark and Europe's strict requirements regarding toxic chemicals, dyes, and waste.

Tweed is a beautiful yarn on it's own - you can use it for small accessories like hats and mitts, but it's also lovely in garments like sweaters, cardigans, and vests. Due to the mohair content, whatever you make with this yarn will be very strong, long-lasting, and pill-resistant!
