Description
100% linen yarn from central Portugal. Alfama linen yarn can be used in your knitting, crochet and weaving projects that require a bit of structure and firmer feel.
Linen is a strong, durable fibre – three times stronger than cotton and second in strength to silk. Linen is suitable for knitting spring and summer weight garments because of its absorbency and drape. The beauty of linen is its natural crispness and slight sheen, it will soften over time and provide soft yet crisp stitches that feel cool and refreshing against the skin – perfect for warm weather wear.
There are two free patterns available for this yarn, the Alfama Shawl and the Cascata T-Shirt
