This DK weight yarn is considerably softer than many other linen yarns and has a refined sheen. The yarn only gets better with wear and use. The color scheme is wonderfully harmonious and the colors blend together beautifully.
Flax comes from a plant that does not require pesticides to survive. Flax is a durable, soft fiber with a silky sheen that wicks away body moisture, keeping you cool and comfortable. These recycled fibers are made from 85% recycled viscose-linen fiber, regenerated using an environmentally friendly method, and blended with 15% high-quality linen. The resulting fiber is spun and dyed using specialized spinning equipment in Biella, Italy.
