Like the wing of a blackbird catching the early morning light, Blackbird Linen shines with an understated elegance that belies its hard-working character.
- Earthy and easy going, Blackbird Linen is a light worsted/DK-weight yarn made of six loosely spun plies of 100% French linen.
- With a sustainable growing process that has been perfected over generations, French linen is the highest quality available. It is also hypoallergenic, long-lasting, and easy to care for, with a wonderful way of softening with wash and wear.
- Blackbird Linen has a naturally cool touch that makes it the perfect choice for warm-weather knitting... Think durable bags and totes, beautiful three-season sweaters, and heirloom housewares. For some inspiring ideas, be sure to explore our collection of (mostly free) knitting patterns for Blackbird Linen!
- Choose from a range of rich and expressive colors, all totally beautiful!
NOTE: If using dark, saturated colors with lighter colors, we recommend taking the precaution of soaking the dark colors first in a vinegar and cold water bath to remove excess dye.
