The sister to the Linnen 4ply yarn, this fabulous blend of 75% Bluefaced Leicester and 25% unbleached linen is perfect for any heavier-weight transitional pieces!

I adore it for slipovers, sweaters and cardigans - anything that you'd like to throw over on chillier evenings or in the fall / spring. Check out Jule's pattern bundle on Ravelry for ideas what to knit with Linnen DK!

Why we love this yarn:

When I first tried woollentwine's summer blend "Linnen", I completely fell in love! The drape of this 75% Bluefaced Leicester, 25% linen blend is unlike any other wool-plant blend I'd ever tried. Woolly, yet cool in handling and wear - the perfect yarn for transitional pieces!

The undyed heathered grey takes Jule's natural dyes beautifully. She's created a wonderfully muted color palette that plays with shades of pink, red, purple and green.

Rivendell Pullover | Sari Nordlund

Sari Nordlund's Rivendell Pullover is a wort of art. Designed for Linnen DK, it features a deep V-neck framed by cables, a textured body, and an echo of the cables running down the sleeves. Plus, did you know there is a cardigan option available?

Beneath The Waves Vest | Johanna Kunin

This gorgeous vest is super versatile: It comes with three length options and can be worn over a long-sleeved t-shirt, a blouse or, as a top, on its own! The calming stitch pattern would work beautifully in any of the undyed or dyed shades of Linnen DK.

what we love to knit with woollentwine Linnen DK:

Linnen DK is a really wonderful yarn for any wardrobe staple. I knit my "Ruegen Top" from Issue 11 in it, planning to wear it as a slipover!

A summer t-shirt, a cardigan or a sweater would be my go-to options, but Linnen DK also works beautifully in any shawl design. I would steer away from very intricate stitch patterns as they would get lost in the heathered yarn, but any large scale cabled pattern works well!
