Linseed is a luxury plant based blend made up of 60% linen, sourced from France and Belgium, and 40% cotton slub, sourced from Spain. When twisted together, these fibres make a strong and durable yarn perfect for knitting. It creates a light and drapey fabric with a rustic appearance. Due to the nature of this natural slub yarn, movement may occur.
I have knitted with this yarn and its fabulous. It makes a lovely lightweight and airey knit and when held double can be treated as a sport weight/light dk, such a versatile yarn, it looks amazing when two different shades are held together and make a gorgeous tweedy effect.
