90% Superwash Merino (21.5 micron) 10% Linen Yarn in Aran/Worsted Weight

Two singles are lightly twisted together (two plies) to produce an aran weight yarn. A soft merino and linen blend yarn with texture and a gentle tweedy haze. Nylon free.

The natural linen gives the yarn a textured finish with subtle drape and produces a rustic, almost hand spun look when knitted up. When dyed the linen resists the dye and remains white, producing a halo of linen fibres.
