Studio Linen (100% linen)

Studio Linen is a DK weight 100% linen yarn that has a very silky feel to it.  It's made from 85% viscose (recycled linen) fiber, sorted from selected wastage and produced using an eco-friendly hydrolysis method and 15% premium natural linen.  Linen itself comes from the flax plant which does not require irrigation. We do not recommend winding it on a swift and ball winder because the yarn has a tendency to tangle.  This is one yarn where it is better to wind it by hand into an *old school* type of ball.  Studio Linen has a slight sheen to it, a soft drape, and excellent stitch definition. *** Note: Studio Linen is labeled as 85% viscose (recycled linen) because the post-production linen waste is spun using a wet spinning process. EU regulations require that a fiber using a wet spinning process be labeled as viscose.  The yarn is not rayon or an artificial fiber. YARDAGE:50 gm skein containing 120 m/131 yds  KNIT GAUGE: 21 to 22 sts & 28 to 30 rows = 10 cm/4 in, using 3.75 to 4 mm
