This Linen/Silk blend is perfect for spring and summer projects. It has a beautiful somewhat rustic texture thanks to the linen, but the silk adds a subtle sheen, smoother drape and a lot of softness. Unlike some linen yarns, this blend is soft to the touch as soon as you receive it, not requiring extra work to soften it up. It’s pleasant to work with (not rough on your hands). Of course, like all linen yarns it becomes even nicer with use!

This yarn can be ordered in any of our Gradiance or Regular colorways. Please be aware that colors will turn out a bit lighter on this base than on our other yarns. This is particularly noticable in really dark colors. For example, black will come out as charcoal (see the darkest skein in the Storm Front Gradiance pictured)
