A soft single ply merino and linen blend yarn with texture and a gentle tweedy haze. Nylon free.

The natural linen gives 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 trans-seasonal items such as cowls, shawls and lightweight tops.
