Description
Elegant blend of linen yarn from central Portugal. Príncipe Real is a composition of 50% linen, 36 % cotton, and 14% natural silk. This yarn can be used in your knitting, crochet and weaving projects that require a bit of structure and texture.
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 it’s 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.
