Linen Quill Worsted is a worsted-weight yarn in a mix of highland wool, alpaca, and linen that is practical, knit-able, durable, but most of all, blow-you-away beautiful! Just like it sounds, Linen Quill Worsted is a gorgeous worsted-weight version of our fingering-weight Linen Quill, which is still available. The same fine highland wool, alpaca, and linen blend, the wool adds springiness and durability, while alpaca adds lovely long-fiber softness, and the linen... Only 15% of the mix but critical to this yarn's unique character! Its tendency to sprout out of the fiber lends a slightly rustic texture, while the way linen takes dye differently than animal fibers gives the yarn a beautiful depth and fascination. Although we no longer sell Linen Quill Worsted, we do have lots of great substitutes that are available and in stock. For projects requiring a similar gauge, consider using Daily Wool or one of our other in-stock suggestions. For projects requiring a similar fiber blend, consider using our Linen Quill yarn, which is still in production.
