Only 15% of the content but critical to what makes this yarn so special! 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 (zoom in on Dark Iris for a good view of this!).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave a wildly creative time with Linen Quill's vast palette, inspired by nature itself with a bit of earth, air, fire, and water.
