Perfect for all seasons — breathable, soft, and beautifully heathered. Knits up at fingering to DK gauges.
Silky Linen has been impacted with another round of tariffs, and unless prices come down, it will not be restocked once my current inventory is gone. Please order all that you need for your projects.
This is a Ready To Ship listing.
The Fiber
A 3-ply sport weight blend of U.S. Non-Superwash Merino/Rambouillet from Shaniko Wool Company (20.4 microns), French Flax, and Mulberry Silk. The linen adds breathability, the merino keeps it soft and fluffy, and the silk brings stitch definition and a subtle drape — without the sheen of typical silk blends.
New to linen yarns? The merino and silk in this blend make it significantly easier on the hands than pure linen, and it softens beautifully with wear.
The undyed natural flax creates a gorgeous heathering effect — more visible in darker colorways, subtler in lighter ones.
