Istex Einband

Istex's Einband is a fine, lace-like wool yarn, made from 100% Icelandic wool. At first glance, the yarn has a slightly linen-like feel. The yarn feels somewhat rough and hard at first, but after washing and with use, the knitwear softens. This yarn is ideal for knitting light and airy accessories and sweaters. Despite its lightness, the best properties of wool are included. The yarn is available in both natural and dazzlingly bright shades!

Care instructions: Airing is usually sufficient for wool garments. If necessary, hand wash in lukewarm water (30°C). Soak the knitwear for approx. 10 min and then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Carefully squeeze out most of the water from the garment, e.g. inside a towel. Gently shape the knitwear to its dimensions and dry flat, do not hang.

Manufacturer's tip: crafts made from yarn stretch, so the final size can only be determined after washing. To ensure the correct measurements for the finished piece, first make a swatch, wet it and dry it to your measurements. Determine the density from this swatch. The needle size also depends on how dense or airy you want the knit surface to be.
