Fingering weight
This multi-plied yarn has the handfeel of linen but so much more depth! The various strands of bleached linen, cotton, and tencel take dye slightly differently, adding a subtle marling to solids and big dimension to variegates. It has a sturdy and initially crispy feel, but softens with work and wear. The drape is very good and the high linen content makes for a breathable garment. Enough tencel is present to add shine without encouraging too much growth.
