A luxurious yarn, with beautiful drape, for the warmer months. The Belgian linen is of high quality and is wet spun to soften and smooth the linen fibres and produce a very strong and even yarn with a natural sheen. Combined with the mulberry silk, the final yarn is smooth and lustrous. As with all linen yarns, this yarn just gets more supple each time it is handled and washed. Good for knitting, crochet and weaving.
The yarn has been dyed with acid dyed for wool/silk so the linen remained undyed resulting in a marled effect.
 
Care:
This yarn is non-superwash and I recommend you hand wash using a gentle detergent, ideally below 30°C, and avoid wringing and twisting. Dry flat out of direct sunlight, do not spin or tumble dry. Although every effort is made to exhaust the dye bath of color you may find a little color bleed on the first wash.
