Isager Spinni

Some pattern links from pictures and pattern name suggestions on this website take you to Ravelry. 

The reason prices vary for different colours:  Costs keep increasing over time. I only increase the price for the colours just re-stocked.  I don't increase the price over the whole range.

ISAGER SPINNI

SPINNI is a single ply wool.

Colors followed by an "s" are tweed versions, meaning they are blended with a natural-greyish wool for a heathered appearance

In the olden days in Iceland this yarn was hand spun and preferably so fine that a finished shawl could be pulled through a finger ring.

Spinni is not quite as fine and we use the yarn in many different ways. When used on its own it is very suitable for lace shawls and one of its qualities is that it keeps its shape, so a scarf or shawl will not ‘collapse’.

As Spinni is a single yarn spun in a single direction, it is not really suitable for knitting stocking stitch in the round. The knitted fabric will have a tendency to skew. If working in the round in a textured pattern this will not normally be a problem.

In a multicoloured work Spinni will often be used as one of the yarns and with its beautiful and characteristic structure it is a lovely element in the knitted fabric.

This yarn is spun and dyed in Denmark. 

A 100 gram hank is actually made with 2 x 50 gram skeins so this yarn is sold in 50 grams units.  This may mean you receive a skein with a photocopy of the original ball band.
