Something a little different, this linen blend is a wonderful summery yarn. The linen adds a caramel quality to the colour of the yarn, and the addition of the silk keeps it light and gives it a delicate shine. The alpaca gives it a nice drape and softness. The yarn takes the dye well and the colours appear soft on this blend. This would make a great yarn for summer sweaters and cardigans, and for light shawls. It would also work really nicely for weaving.
