Named for a silver-leaved, flowering shrub that thrives in the hot climate of the Mediterranean, Oleander is the ultimate warm-weather knitting yarn, as light as a summer breeze and as lovely as an Italian hillside in bloom.

• Made in Italy from 50% Turkish cotton and 50% Belgian linen, this earthy cotton and linen yarn is breathable enough for the hottest days of summer. Naturally humectant linen absorbs moisture and keeps you cool, while cotton brings super touchable softness.

• Spun from four 2-ply strands, this fingering-weight yarn is strong and pleasantly dry to the touch, with the smooth, soft touch of finely sanded olive wood.

• This machine wash- and dry-able yarn just gets softer with use and wear and is absolutely lovely for durable housewares, breezy accessories, and summer garments.

• Oleander is available in 18 sun-kissed colors, each with a beautiful matte finish. From sandy neutrals like Toasted Sesame and Pignoli Nut to herbal Bay Leaf and glassy Teal Sea, this palette will take you on an evocative Mediterranean tour from Gibraltar to Istanbul!

• TIP: As with all plant fibers, we recommend pulling Oleander from the outside of the ball.
