Isager recently released a delightful batch of new colors in their fuzzy alpaca, silk, and yak blend, Soft Fine. We love Soft Fine as a mohair substitute, for those sensitive to that fiber – it has all the halo of mohair and, for some, a softer texture.
As we unpacked these new colors, Bailey got to work pairing them up with Brooklyn Tweed Loft, still enamored of the lightweight fabric of her “Karla Cardigan.”
Anne Ventzel’s design is striking, a simple slip stitch pattern that shines in Bailey’s unique yarn selection.
There’s something really special about Brooklyn Tweed Loft and Isager Soft Fine held together, a balance of structure and softness, a lofty fabric at a quick-to-knit gauge. Here are some “Karla Cardigan” color pairs!
There are other exciting things to make with Loft + Soft Fine, of course. The gauge for Anne Ventzel’s “Karla Cardigan” is 16 stitches = 4″; here are other patterns at a similar gauge, ideal for this yarn combination:
- “Busan,” by aegyoknit – oversized raglan pullover with center cable
- “Sweater No. 18,” by My Favorite Things Knitwear – textured drop shoulder pullover
- “Sailor Soft,” by Anne Ventzel – 2-color slip stitch pullover
- “Port Sweater,” by Ozetta – mock turtleneck pullover with ribbed details
- “Cloud Sweater,” by PetiteKnit – drop shoulder pullover with rolled funnel neck
- “Sophie Hood,” by PetiteKnit – garter stitch scarf/hood trimmed in I-cord
- “Merle Loop Neckwarmer,” by Other Loops – stockinette cowl
