Linen Yarn

Linen is cool, strong and gets softer every time it is washed, which makes it the yarn for summer tops and anything that will be worn for years. It is stiff on the needles and has no stretch, so blends with cotton or wool are the friendlier way in.

Machine wash and tumble dry — unlike wool, linen improves with rough treatment.
