Sport - Caribbean Queen
High quality Belgian linen wet spun to soften and smooth the linen fibres and produce a very strong yarn with a natural sheen. This is an excellent fibre not only for knitting and crocheting, but for weaving, too! Combined with the mulberry silk the yarn is smooth and lusterous, albeit stiffer than wool.
