Portuguese Linen Cotton Silk Blend
120m | Worsted / 10ply
This knitting yarn is a beautiful blend of linen, cotton and silk - natural fibres that we love!
The different fibres in this yarn create a slightly rustic vibe with wonderful texture and a subtle marled effect throughout. Great for summer knitting projects - but we also love our linen all year round! It is a fibre that helps to regulate body heat, so a good option if you are looking for something other than wool yarns.
You can also hold this yarn together with a strand of lace weight silk mohair to add extra warmth and a lovely hazy halo to your project.
Don't forget that the linen and cotton yarns do not have the same stretch and bounce as wool yarns - so keep this in mind when selecting a project.
We think a scarf or shawl knitting pattern would be lovely, such as the Artemis Wrap. Also great for simple tops such as the Ursina Sweater, or Holiday Slipover
