Since 1977 the Danish company ISAGER has been supplying meticulously designed patters and quality yarns made from natural fibers, known, and loved by knitters worldwide. Marianne and her daughter, and co-owner of the company Helga Isager, are behind a line of popular knitting books.
The history of Isager began with designer Åse Lund Jensen (1920-1977), who established her studio in 1960. Åse Lund Jensen’s work was rooted in the Danish crafts tradition, but she took her inspiration in particular from the Icelandic and Faroes knitting cultures. In cooperation with Henrichsen’s Yarn Mill Åse Lund Jensen made a range of high-quality woolen yarns and her own favorites Spinni and Jensen Yarn are still part of Isager’s range today.
Marianne Isager took over after Åse’s passing in 197/. Since then, a multitude of books and patterns have seen the light of day, from the hands of both Marianne and Helga Isager. Over the years, different yarn qualities have come and gone, and today Isager is offering 22 different qualities made of various fibers from wool, alpaca, yak and mohair to cotton, linen and lyocell, with the core yarns being the Danish-produced Spinni, Tvinni and Jensen Yarn. All Isager colours are made to match the color scheme of plant dyes, making it easy to mix and combine qualities in numerous ways, which both Marianne and Helga love to do in their designs.
The Isager company now resides on the former Elementary School in Tversted, a village in the north of Jutland close to the North Sea, surrounded by beautiful countryside. Here the company’s retail shop, wholesale and workshop centers are all situated.
