It's no surprise that the 3 ingredients of Principe - linen, cotton and silk - get along so well. What really impresses us about this summer yarn, is the balance that's struck between them, with each fibre playing a complimentary role with the rest so that the sum really is much greater than its parts. The cotton brings a satisfying heft to the fabric while the everso slightly slubby linen mixes in a characterful and subtle irregularity in the texture. The silk meanwhile, feels like a spoonful of cream which has been stirred through to soften and enrich the twist, without overwhelming it in silkiness.
It's a great yarn for t-shirs and summer sweaters and blouses, creating a closed, not too dense, stocking stitch fabric at 21 stitches, but continues to work, albeit with more drape, at a looser 19 stitch gauge.
