Both linen and cotton yarn are strong, durable and absorbent. They are an inelastic fiber and do not have the same memory as wool. This combination has great stitch definition and creates a beautiful, drapey, fabric. It is machine washable and can be tumble-dried. It will get softer with use and makes for a great year round fiber.

Care Instructions
Colors have depth and vibrance, dyed with professional acid dyes. We do our best to make sure all of the excess color is rinsed out from our yarns, but some bleeding is still possible, especially during the first wash. Please note the natural is unbleached fiber and may give off some color when blocking.
We recommend blocking your swatches first in cool water to check for color-fastness. When using high contrasting colors, we recommend a steam block rather than wet blocking.
Despite all of our best efforts, red, blues and blacks are notorious for bleeding.
We try hard to capture the essence of each colorway, but please keep in mind that colors may vary from monitor to monitor.
