My Grayling Sweater is finished!! This project was my working swatch for Selene yarn to show how great it is with texture, and I’m not disappointed ☺️.

My main yarn is a single skein of Double Mohair by , which is the perfect matt-fluff contrast for metallicy Selene, I think.

It’s a tricky one to photograph- it’s way better in real life.

I’m v happy with this one 😁.

PS - yarn restock on the way!

As promised. Here’s the first “tried-on” reel.
These are the exact same Isager sweater samples on lots of us Retreaters.

1. Torhild’s Tweed by in S/M
2. Tversted Cardigan by in S
3. Poetry by in size 2

By the way, many of us are probs going to make back to back Torhild designs - they were all winners on so many of us!

Which is your fav of these three? Is this helpful?

Big thank you to our beautiful models!!

Part 2 of the Tribe x Isager Retreat 2026 🩷

More knitting, more eating, more gin, more bonding, more games, more samples, more laughing and more sleep deprivation 🤪.

We’ve been having the BEST time.

Sharing a few more snippets from the last couple of days.

I have a ton of pics from sample-try-one too which I will collate and share later.

What a lovely bunch. 🩷

The Tribe x Isager Retreat 2026 is off to a banging start!
Here’s just a little bit of footage so far. We have been so busy!

Skinny dips, fabulous knit workshop, the MOST delicious food (we are stuffed!), whacky evening games, long chatty nights with cocktails, super fun try out sessions with sooo many stunning samples. Playing, and enjoying the moments.

Massive thank yous to , the Tversted Beach posse, , , and of course our incredible retreaters!! 🩷

Living the dream.

I made another Ava Jacket! This time for the Tribe Mash KAL - so it’s “mashed” with the gorgeous Fiskerhuse pattern by Annette Rindom Danielsen . I’ve decided no sleeves for now, but that may change later in the year.

Love how it turned out! I especially love it worn on top of my original Ava Jacket (pattern by Louise Rasmussen ).

I used Alpaca 3 by Isageryarn , just like in our Fiskerhuse kits. And then a finishing welt in Chunky by KAOS YARN .

What do you think?

GIACOMO by Illimani 🩷
Yes, it’s expensive, but with cashmere you get what you pay for.

Most cashmere yarns are woolen spun. Giacomo is made from combed baby cashmere. This is why it’s so silky.

Also,
• Long, ultra-fine fibres (12.5–14 microns!)
• Fibres are combed and aligned = silky handle
• NO prickliness, no dryness, no fuzziness
• Softness that comes from fibre quality NOT fluff
• Smooth, buttery, luxurious feel
• Softness that stays even after knitting and wearing
• More durable than other cashmere, and no pilling
Made from 10 tiny strands of pure cashmere twisted together, Giacomo is smooth and fluid, but still airy and light.

Almost every other cashmere yarn you’ll see is woolen cashmere:
- Fibers are short and mixed in all directions
- Spinning traps air, creating a fluffy, fuzzy yarn
- Soft, but pills easily
- Less durable and less defined stitch structure
- Cheaper to produce

Worsted spinning is slower, more expensive, and requires extremely fine, long fibers - which is why almost no mills offer it. GIACOMO is in a different category. Definitely not a mass‑market cashmere!

Save this post for when you’re ready to really treat yourself. 🥰

It’s a thing! Stainless steel… in knitting.

Tetsu is a fine lace-weight thread made from silk and stainless steel, where a very thin metal filament is twisted together with mulberry silk.

Some patterns use it to create architectural shapes. Others use it to help collars stand proud, add memory to fabric, a subtle shine, or simply bring a unique crispness that no other yarn can quite replicate.

I’ve rounded up some of our favourite patterns for Tetsu - you’ll find a link to the patterns on our Tetsu webpage. I’ve knit the Stella & Cake with steel yarn, and we have kits for the Plain Knit Top using ITO Tetsu + Sensai.

Have you knitted with Tetsu yet? Which pattern is your fav?
