The Highland yarn can replace Tvinni or Alpaca 2 in a pattern. In softness and durability this yarn lies between Tvinni and Alaca 2. The yarn it well suited for structured patterns together with other yarns and it does not twist when worked in the round. Highland works really well on its own, but is also wonderful combined with other Isager yarns.

How to wash

Wool should be washed by hand unless you have a washing machine that uses lukewarm water (below 28° Celsius) and has a very gentle wool cycle.

To avoid felting, please observe the following:
Use very little soap and use a wool mark approved detergent. Be careful to keep the same temperature during the entire washing and rinsing process (not above 28° Celsius). After washing and rinsing place the garment in a washing bag and spin it lightly in a washing machine. Then place the garment flat on towel and leave to dry.

Woolen garments do not necessarily need washing very often. Airing outside in damp weather will often be sufficient. Yarns from cotton and yarns made from mixed fibres containing flax and bamboo could be washed in warm water, but still we recommend the same washing instructions as for wool.
