The yarn:
Flaxi is a French flax that is dyed and plied in the UK. It absorbs the dye beautifully, and softens after washing and wear, leaving you with the most comfortable garments ever! The perfect spring and summer fiber, Flaxi is durable, absorbent and non-allergenic.
Fiber: 100% linen
Weight/Length: 50g, 137yds (125m)
Gauge Designation: Sport
Gauge/Needle Size: 22-26 sts = 4in (10cm) on US 3-6 (3-4mm) needles
Care: Machine wash on gentle cycle using a non-bleach, mild soap. Place in dryer on a medium setting for 15 minutes, then lay flat to finish. For an even softer result, dry the garment completely in the dryer. To enhance the sheen of the yarn, steam with a steam iron.
