Flax Flower Twist is a blend of 90% Finest South African Merino and 10% Belgian Linen. The linen content gives it a slightly heathered appearance. Flax Flower Twist consists of two strands of Flax Flower – loosely plied – creating a rustic yarn with great character and appeal. This gently gleaming yarn is super soft and perfect for sweaters and shawls.
It is milled from Merino wool that is sustainably farmed and mulesing-free. The flax fibres in the yarn are from sustainably farmed crops in Belgium. Flax (Linum Usitatissimum) is known only as a cultivated plant, and appears to have been domesticated just once from the wild species Linum Bienne, called pale flax.
