SUSTAIN - Shaniko Merino + Linen + Silk - Sport Weight Hand Dyed Yarn

This earthy sport weight yarn is perfect for spring and summer knitting. It's a blend of U.S. Non-Superwash Merino (20.4 microns) + French Flax + Mulberry Silk. 

I have a lot of this yarn ready to ship, but just in case I don't have the quantities you need, this is a Dyed To Order Listing. Yarn will ship in approximately 1 week. 

If you've ever knit with Linen before you know it needs to be worked and worn to soften up, but the blend of ultra fine merino + silk eases that process a bit and makes this much, much easier on the hands while knitting. The linen gives this yarn excellent breathability, the merino makes it fluffy and soft, and the silk makes it strong with great stitch definition and a wee bit of drape (though there is really no "sheen" in this blend like some silk blends). 

The Flax (linen) is an undyed natural tan color, and it does not take the dye, so it creates a beautiful heathering that shows up more in the darker colors and less in the lighter colors.
