Flaxen is the epitome of understated elegance. The linen draws the color into the background, but the silk makes sure it is stunning, like bright sunshine behind a hazy cloud. Flaxen drapes with a firm, graceful sureness that gets better over time as it continues to soften with each wearing or washing. You’ll discover that it is a delight to knit — it glides smoothly across your needles and speaks to your hands as it goes by. This is one great yarn.
