Description
A soft single ply merino and linen blend yarn with texture and a gentle tweedy haze. Nylon free.
The natural linen is prepared to vary in thickness to give the yarn a textured finish with subtle drape. When dyed with acid dyes, the linen resists the dye and remains white, producing a halo of linen fibres.
It is ideal for summer and trans-seasonal items such as cowls, shawls and lightweight tops.

5 x 100gm hanks = 500gms total
