Isager Sock Yarn

One of the most perfect fiber blends for socks, Isager Sock Yarn is a soft, yet durable blend of alpaca, Merino wool & recycled nylon.  The 4-ply, fingering weight blend has a tight twist for gorgeous stitch definition & wearability.  Wonderful for knitting colorwork, cables, stripes, lace or just simple stockinette.  It is also a nice yarn for baby knits, wraps & accessories. Easy wash is an environmentally 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 used a synthetic fibre 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 durability required for a sock yarn. Recycled nylon is an industrial waste product that normally would be disposed of.
