Linen Stonewash Collection!
New from Berroco, this is for you linen lovers! Linen Stonewash is a must-see! This DK-weight, 100% linen yarn has a crisp texture that's dyed with a stonewash effect in a sophisticated, muted palette. The chainette construction of Linen Stonewash breaks up the normal new linen stiffness and creates a gentle sheen that you’ll love.
In tandem with Linen Stonewash's debut, there's also an amazing pattern collection to complement it! Here's a round up of a few of our faves:
- Odeleite tee - This simple tee is perfect for summer! Front and back are knit separately and seamed, with small, stylish keyholes at the bottom hems
- Arade poncho - Two panels of easy lace, knit and then joined at the shoulders to form a breezy poncho
- Ceira cardigan - This simple dolman-sleeve cardigan begins at the sleeves and grows to the body, joining in the center back
