Linen Viscose Silk Cobweb Lace (1,400m/100g)

We have just a few of kilos of this yarn available. It is a single ply (1/14nm) cobweb-weight in a blend of 50% Linen, 30% Viscose and 20% Silk, giving 1,400m per 100g. The linen and viscose fibres don't absorb the acid dyes we use, but the silk does, resulting in an interesting slubby, marled effect. Linen and silk are both very strong and drape beautifully. Silk and viscose are soft fibres, and linen softens with washing and wear, so this will be a lovely yarn for summer accessories or little tops for warm days and evenings. 

It would be perfect for either size of Abbey's Shawl, or any of our Shetland Cobweb designs such as Eilidh or Yvaine. It would also be ideal for weaving.

The yarn comes on small cones, so the skein sizes are quite varied.
