--------------

SAGER ARAN TWEED is a chunky single-ply yarn with a rugged structure. It is well suited for thick outdoor sweaters and also works really well used for soft furnishings such as plaids and pillow, not least when worked together with Silk Mohair. Worked together with either Silk Mohair or Alpaca 1, the yarn works really well in scarves and hats. Even though Aran Tweed is only available in a limited colour range the shades become legion when worked together with other yarns.

Care Instructions

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.
