Bomulin | Isager

Isager Bomulin is a beautifully crisp and soft summery yarn made from 65% cotton and 35% linen. This yarn is lightweight and naturally machine-washable, making it a wonderful choice for children's items and summer knits. 

While the cotton content gives softness and drape, the linen content gives strength and sheen. A perfect blend for summer garments, this yarn will give you a breathable, cooling, and quick-drying fabric. You can also add Bomulin to other yarns to add strength and structure. And because the two fibers take up dye differently, you get a lovely heathered look to this yarn.

Isager was established by Marianne Isager and her daughter Helga in 1977. Today, the Isager company resides on a small farm near the North Sea, where they continue to develop innovative yarns rooted in Nordic knitting tradition. The brand holds high standards for animal welfare, sustainability, and environmental impact. All their wool comes from farms where mulesing is not practiced, and their dye and chemical usage adheres to Denmark and Europe's strict requirements regarding toxic chemicals, dyes, and waste.

Bomulin is perfect for fine knitted or crocheted garments like tanks, tees, and lightweight pullovers. It's also great for children's items, as it will be soft and non-irritating on their skin, as well as breathable and machine-washable. Because of the linen content, Bomulin would also make a nice strong option for knitted and crocheted bags!
