Duet combines the ease of weaving with cotton with the sheen and hand of linen. The subtle variegation in the linen adds a slightly marbled visual element to projects. Buttery and smooth on a multi-shaft loom, this yarn is also a wonderful introduction to linen for rigid heddle weavers who have a few projects under their belts. Duet weaves into beautiful summer scarves and shawls, as well as heirloom-quality towels and dining linens that soften and improve with age and use. A versatile yarn, Duet is strong enough for warp, soft enough for garments, and hardy enough for kitchen towels.
Duet is made in North Carolina from 55% European tow linen and 45% US cotton.
