What to know before you work with linen
Linen is strong, cool to wear, and has very little stretch, so it's a favorite for summer tops, towels, and table linens. It feels crisp at first and softens with every wash, so don't judge the fabric until you've washed your swatch. For knitting, a 100g skein is plenty for a sample or small accessory. For weaving, a cone gives you the yardage for a long warp without joins. The cotton bouclé adds a looped, squishy texture that works well for dishcloths, baby blankets, and weft.
