FlaxenSilk{f2} is a tightly twisted fingering weight yarn of 65% mulberry (bombyx mori) silk and 35% linen. It was previously known as FlaxenSilk{f} until her softer f4 sister was added to the lineup.

This yarn has an even twist with a smooth finish. It has gorgeous stitch definition with an elegant, weighty drape, lovely to handle, softens and grows more supple as you knit, and delivers a spectacular, glowing sheen. It is perfect for summer or lightweight garments and shawls, whether you are knitting, crochet, or weaving.

Hand washing is recommended. The dyes I use are low-impact Procion MX fiber reactive dyes, the same that I use for all dyedianadye garments and accessories. I use a cold water process, randomly distributing color, often in multiple baths to produce a glazed and layered effect. The result is no regular striping or predictable pooling. In addition, both the silk and linen fibers take up the dye. You will not have white linen strings or haze in this yarn.

All skeins within a lot or between lots will vary from one other. If your garment requires more than a single skein, consider alternating between skeins.

Caking your skein is an add-on option.
