Since the 20% linen in this yarn doesn't absorb colour as the 80% wool does this gorgeous yarn has a really interesting structure. The linen fibre lies smoothly over the wool to give a lovely mélange effect to the yarn.

It also has a ‘cooler’ feel due to the linen content. It is ideal for knitting together with other Isager yarns but also works well used individually for children’s wear and summer sweaters. 

It's lovely for men's sweaters, as can be seen in Marianne Isager's book DÆXEL.

It's a 3-ply so it works really well in textured patterns, and since the yarn is very soft, in can be used by many people who are otherwise allergic to wool.
