Camellia - Flax Fingering
Flax Fingering
per 100 g skein · 437 yd
From the maker: Camellia Fiber Company
Our most popular summer yarn. A breathable blend of alpaca, linen, and silk for a lightweight, airy feel. Our Flax yarn is extremely soft, not scratchy like you would expect from linen. It has an ever-so-gentle halo and a magnificent drape. This 3-ply, fingering weight yarn is our favorite for summertime knitting and is perfect for lightweight sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and blankets. Plus it adds a lovely, slightly rustic texture to weavings. 50% Alpaca, 25% Linen, 25% Silk.
