I absolutely love the Italian Cotton & Linen fibre. I have used for warp and weft to create handwoven breezy summer scarves as well as, yardage fabric for long maxi skirts and blouses. A great go-to fibre for me! Cheers!
I’d previously used this yarn on a modified version of Emma Rhodes’ chevron tea towels pattern and loved it so I had to order more colors. Result was a very sturdy and absorbent cloth.
Italian Cotton/Linen Weaving Yarn ~ Sand
I love this as a warp. It adds gorgeous texture to the piece! It can be brittle as other reviews suggest, but if I am careful with it, it holds up.
I used this 50/50 blend for the Sunset Towels shown in Handwoven Magazine Jan/Feb 2019 as the weft that they suggested. I loved the color so much I ordered another cone in Goldenrod to mix it up a bit. My next set of towels are a crackle of blooming leaf design with the weft this wonderful cotton/linen. I don't think it would be good for a warp as it can come unraveled with the beat, but as weft yarn its great.
