Studio Linen is a DK weight 100% linen yarn that has a very silky feel to it. It's made from 85% viscose (recycled linen) fiber, sorted from selected wastage and produced using an eco-friendly hydrolysis method and 15% premium natural linen. Linen itself comes from the flax plant which does not require irrigation.
We do not recommend winding it on a swift and ball winder because the yarn has a tendency to tangle. This is one yarn where it is better to wind it by hand into an *old school* type of ball.
Studio Linen has a slight sheen to it, a soft drape, and excellent stitch definition.
*** Note: Studio Linen is labeled as 85% viscose (recycled linen) because the post-production linen waste is spun using a wet spinning process. EU regulations require that a fiber using a wet spinning process be labeled as viscose. The yarn is not rayon or an artificial fiber.
