ABOUT MARIANNE ISAGER ISAGER, founded in 1977, is run by Marianne Isager and a dynamic team of employees. Her shops in Aarhus and Tannisby in Denmark sell high quality yarns and knitting patterns, also to dealers in Denmark and abroad.
ISAGER combines the challenges and possibilities inherent in working with yarn and needles, the fine art of knitting and, not least, intensely creative teamwork to produce a continual array of amazing, new designs for both hand-knitting and machine-knitting.
Marianne Isager selects only prime quality, classic yarns in a richly varied and stunning range of colours, and uses only natural fibres to knit her models. Using the right yarns is the key to achieving beautiful results and enhances the joy of knitting models that are exhilarating to make and also wear beautifully over time.
ISAGER focuses its energy on creating meticulously considered designs with exquisite details.
Marianne Isager was born in Denmark, growing up in northern Jutland among the windswept moors that overlook the North Sea. She graduated from Denmarkfs Design School in Copenhagen and over the years has taught at design and crafts schools all over Denmark. Marianne has also joined in projects aimed at teaching groups of knitters living around the world. From sheep-farmer women in southern Greenland to a womenfs group in Kathmandu and the knitting men of Taquile Island in Lake Titicaca, Peru.
Marianne has compiled her many journeys and teaching into a series of knitting books inspired from many parts of the world, and more are in the pipeline. The models in her books primarily stem from the different textiles and ceramics of the countries she has visited, but her ideas also flow from nature, everyday objects or even films and fairy tales. Despite these eclectic influences, her patterns still bear the hallmark of the simple Scandinavian style.
For a big part of the year she lives in Japan, but she is always in her shop / workshop in Tannisby, Denmark during the summertime.
