Honest Yarn - Naturally Dyed Organic Linen - Sport - Indigo Light

$29.95

Our Linen Honest Yarn shows the raw beauty of Belgian flax, spun in Bengal. It offers a wonderful buttery hand and the exceptional weight and presence that only linen can give. This line is also being offered in special wholesale lots.

Linen is one of the more challenging fibres to dye naturally, especially to dye well. But we feel we've nailed it. Beautiful rich jewel-like tones that are both deep and even. Lighter colours that are consistent, level, and delicate without being weak. Colours that are as satisfying to work with as the act of creating.

Colour: Indigo Light (Indigo - 2 dips) Lot No. L124

Sport 16 / 4 ply — Approx. 100g / 241m (264yd)

Note: Indigo is a friendly dye and likes to share its colour. You can expect some colour to rub off on your skin while using or wearing this yarn.

Care Instructions: Hand wash in cool water. To protect the natural dyes you absolutely must use a pH neutral liquid detergent. Roll in a towel to remove excess water and hang to dry.
