Hands-down one of the best plant yarns on the market! Antigone is a sport-weight 100% linen yarn with a smooth and silky finish, perfect for summer tops, shirts and cardigans for layering. Linen likes to be washed (preferrably in the washing machine!) and worn and so your FOs will just get softer and softer over time.
• Non-superwash
• 100% organic linen (France)
• Sport weight: 260 meters per 100 grams / 284 yards per 3.53 ounces
• Recommended needle size: 2.5 - 3.5mm / US 1.5 - 4
• Antigone is created with a focus on keeping the production cycle short and transport emissions low.
• The flax is grown in Normandy, France, by the "Terre de Lin" cooperative. The cooperative is part of a project to return to ancient cultivation practices aimed at preserving the soil and producing high quality fibres without chemical inputs.
• It is then wet-spun into a single ply in Lithuania, before being twisted and dyed to its final shape and shades in France.
• Plant fiber origin: France (organic)
• Spinning mill: Lithuania
• Finishing & dyeing: France

Twisted stitches, stockinette and a geometric lace panel - Piteraq has all the features of your favourite summer top that takes you from brunch in the morning to a long leisurely walk in the evening.
It's designed by Solène Le Roux and can be found in BREEZE as well as as an individual pattern on Ravelry.
Variance is a beautiful sideways-knitted sweater with a stripe pattern inspired by a Japanese traditional textile pattern called Tatewaku that represents how the steam rises. With its cropped shape, boxy body and fitted sleeves, it's the perfect layering piece over high-waisted skirts, jeans and dresses!
You can find this gorgeous design by Keiko Kikuno in our September Collection.
Audrey Borrego's Xyris is a super wearable summer T-shirt - stockinette in the front, and a wonderful large scale lace pattern on the back. With its scoop neckline and short drop sleeves, it's perfect for everyday wear!
Designed by Armenuhi Khachatryan, Juova is one of those timeless tops that you will wear again and again and again! Its silhouette effortlessly skims your body and the geometric lace striping peaks from the back over to the front - just the right amount of fun to knit and amazing to wear!
Vanessa Pellisa's Pale Shelter is a top-down circular yoke sweater with lovely design details: A reinforced neckline achieved by holding the yarn double, a line of eyelets tracing the sides of the body, a twisted stitch seam running down the back. The pattern comes with optional A-line shaping and two sleeve versions: regular sleeves (as pictured), and Bishop sleeves.
Beautiful color shades and nice to the touch. It is my first time knitting with linen ( and I am using wooden needles) but I did not find it at all tiring or harsh. Highly recommend it!
