Even more new colors from Isager… check out the new palette in Soft!
Isager Soft:
Formerly known as Eco Soft, Isager Soft’s construction is a little unusual – alpaca fiber is blown into an organic cotton chainette tube, resulting in a beautiful tonal yarn with a stunning halo, the cotton core seeming to glow through the alpaca fuzz. Garments and accessories made with Soft are soft, cuddly, and warm, but lightweight.
Bailey knit this PetiteKnit “Cloud Sweater” with Isager Soft, an oversized drop-shoulder pullover with a rolled funnel-neck.
She was able to get the pattern gauge (17 stitches = 4″) with Soft alone, though if you’re seeking extra warmth, you can certainly add a strand of Silk Mohair.
What else to knit with Soft? Here are a few ideas…
