The Yarn Room · 5 cotton & linen yarns

Cotton & Linen yarn

Plant fibers for warm weather. Cotton is cool, breathable and crisp, with excellent stitch definition. Linen starts stiff and softens with every wash into a fabric with beautiful drape. Neither has wool's stretch, so they show tension honestly.

Feel: Cool, smooth and crisp; linen softens with wear
Warmth: Cool and breathable, made for summer
Care: Most can be machine washed; check the band. Dry flat to keep the shape
Best for: Summer tops, tees, market bags, dishcloths and baby things
