Our silk/linen yarn is a 2-ply sport weight with a relaxed twist that shows off the luster and drape of both fibers. Soft and lovely to touch and knit with, the yarn still retains a bit of satisfying crispness that belies its vegetable content. The stiff quality of the flax fiber provides a supporting structure for the silk to turn on and envelop in a lustrous cocoon. The lightness of both fibers works wonderfully for large scarves that remain cool and comfortable in humid summer heat.
