New from Isager: Mulberry Silk

New from Isager: Mulberry Silk

My to-knit list has gotten a lot longer recently, ever since we received a box from Isager packed with their exquisite new yarn: Mulberry Silk! It's dreamy soft, the colors are rich and it's the perfect hint of elegance in your summer knits. We have all 14 colors in stock as well as an excellent selection of Trio 2 and Eco Baby, two Isager yarns that pair beautifully with Mulberry Silk. And we have many more Isager bases in stock!* Read on for more information and an abundance of pattern ideas to inspire you.

About Mulberry Silk

Mulberry Silk
Isager Mulberry Silk is the newest addition to Isager's extraordinary selection of yarns. It's a 100% mulberry silk strand in lace-weight. This stunning yarn combines effortlessly with their other fibers for a knitted fabric with beautiful sheen, softness and drape. It's an excellent substitute for silk/mohair for anyone who is sensitive to mohair or simply prefers a smoother look.

Fiber: 100% Mulberry Silk
Gauge: varies; this yarn is best used with other yarns
Yardage: 230 yds/25g



Our favorite pairings are with Trio 2Isager Baby or Spinni for a sport-to-DK-weight gauge. Soft Fine also pairs well with any of these yarns.

Inspiring Isager Patterns

Since I returned from Denmark in May, I've seen more and more pattern releases featuring Mulberry Silk and other Isager yarns. It's also a great time to rework old favorites in a new yarn combination for a fresh look. They're all simply gorgeous and well worth having in your handmade closet - the hard part is choosing which one to cast on first!
