RET, RIB OG PATENT has now been republished with new photos. In this new edition the suggested yarn is Alpaca 3. We love the beautiful softness and lightness that this yarn brings to this new version, whereas the yarn used in the original pattern made a heavier garment. RET, RIB OG PATENT is a one-size model, but for a smaller size it can be knitted in Isager Jensen Yarn.

It wasn’t until the 1990s that Marianne Isager truly began exploring the world. In this book we follow Marianne on her travels to Latin America, Africa, Greenland, and Nepal. On these travels the gates open wide for an abundance of inspira-tion. Not just the patterns of textile, baskets and pottery, but also architecture, landscapes and all of those wonders that will fill your mind and soul when you first visit a new place and ex-perience the traditions, the food, the people, and the history of the country creeping into the core of your body. As in the first book a number of her previous and most significant designs are presented, many of which reflected the fashion of the day. This book also contains 16 new designs with knitting instructions based on the inspiration from her travels, all of them combining craftmanship and yarn of high quality.

ULO is knitted in Isager Jensen Yarn and Isager Silk Mohair and uses the same pattern as the INUIT sweater from A KNITTING LIFE – OUT INTO THE WORLD.

The following colours have been added: Camel, Chestnut, Granite, Khaki, Nougat, Petroleum, Sky and Thyme.

Colour 65 in Silk Mohair corresponds to colour 28 in SPINNI, TVINNI and JENSEN YARN but as this number was already taken by another delightful red color, we had to choose another number – and chose 65. The new colour 65 in Silk Mohair perfectly matches color 28 in SPINNI, TVINNI and JENSEN YARN.

The colour 28 and 58 were part of the layout for the upcoming Isager Archives Collection but have – until now – only been available in Spinni and Tvinni. Both colours are popular amongst the designers, and we are excited to see their contributions for this collection which takes inspiration from 60’s and 70’s patterns by Åse Lund Jensen. The Archives collection will be released in the new year.

Helga Isager writes about the design:
Gunta Cowl is named after the German Weaver, Gunta Stölzl, who, with her beautiful graphic weavings, was one of the influential artists at The Bauhaus school in the 1920s.
I am currently very interested in the female weavers of Bauhaus, and I am working on a collection based on their works.
