Flax Down


Light worsted/DK weight Flax Down comes from farm and field. A blend of baby alpaca, extra fine merino and linen, Flax Down is a very special single ply yarn, full of gentle charm and natural beauty. We love how its undyed linen casts the entire palette in a soft, tweedy haze. Knit with a range of colors or just your favorite one alone for a sumptuous wrap or a cozy sweater, a simple knit or a granny square... All gorgeous in Flax Down! Although we no longer sell Flax Down, we do have lots of great substitutes that are available and in stock. Check out these similar yarns!
