A Linen By Any Other Name is Still the Same





Linen (by Louet)
Claudia's Handpainted Yarns
100% Linen - sport weight
100 grams/270 yds
Gauge: 6 sts/inch on 3 - 3.5 mm needles
My Color: Blue Terra Cotta
Retail price: $31.50


This is the same yarn as Euroflax Linen sport weight by Louet, which I have reviewed previously here. This, however, has been beautifully hand-painted by Claudia, and comes in some gorgeous colorways. It is not yet shown on her website, but if you like linen, you'll like this one. I worked this swatch in the lace pattern that is used on a camisole in Joan McGowan-Michael's new book, "Knitting Lingerie Style." I happened to get an autographed copy at TNNA this month, but you can get a signed one, too, at her website. Just click on the link to the book in this post, and it will take you to the page.
