A beautiful combination of 90% superwash merino with 10% linen, which adds some breathability, strength, and earthy luster. Since the linen doesnโt take much dye, thereโs a fun contrast between fairly rich merino color and a creepy-cobwebby linen look. With a flatteringly fluid and elegant drape, this base works well for lightweight sweaters, shawls, or summer knits.
