Linum by Fibre Carpe Diem

Product Details

The blend of baby alpaca, silk and linen makes it a perfect yarn for summer knitwear worn directly against the skin.

Baby alpaca and silk are two fibers with thermoregulating properties, so you won't get too hot or too cold wearing them. They are also very soft fibers and will produce a light, supple knit.

Linen, which resists acid dyeing and remains white, softens the color of this yarn and gives it texture.

It is ideal for sweaters, cardigans, camisoles and shawls.
