Like moonlight on a running brook, Lantern moves with syncopation and mystery, grace and beauty. Made in Japan, each skein is its own artistic testament to balance and surprise. With a creamy white cotton core wrapped with a colorful linen thread, Lantern is 61% cotton and 39% linen. It is a quick and easy worsted weight with a wonderful heft and drape. It has a cool, defined, and very satisfying touch. Not strictly speaking “soft,” it’s certainly not scratchy either! Lantern is available in a feast of 21 incredible colors. Choose your favorites to knit up one-of-a kind sweaters and supple blankets, durable dishtowels and washcloths!

TIP: When using irregularly spun yarns like this, avoid unwanted patterning (aka “pooling”) by alternating skeins every row/round or two. For more information on this technique, please visit our Working With Irregular and Hand Dyed Yarns Tutorial!
