This versatile Rowan yarn combines the cool, dry hand of linen with the soft loft of cotton. Light worsted-weight Creative Linen has a slightly rustic texture and a nice heft that drapes softly and provides proud stitch definition for garments and a bit of structure that's perfect for bags.

We love this yarn for sweaters year 'round—especially for men who "run hot" and those who can't wear wool. It's soft on the skin and gets softer with every hand-wash. The ball band suggests you don't tumble dry but we like to bash it around a bit in a cool dryer when it's nearly dry to soften the finish. We toss our in the washer and dryer with our towels—no harm done.
