The linen yarn is very hard and unyielding, like string and not pleasant to knit or crochet. Gave it away to someone who uses it for a craft project.

My purchases are quality items! The yarns are as advertised and are consistent through out the ball (No knots tying yarns together. I love the patterns selection! The free patterns are great!
I love the colours and feel of this yarn that can be used for summer knits.
Quality yarn. It’s a little more thin and wispy than I expected though. A challenge to knit with due to splitting.
This was a beautiful yarn, very fine and would make a lovely lace knit or something similar. Unfortunately the colour was nothing like it appeared on my computer screen and so I had to return it. It was a kind of 1970s turquoise denim colour- too bright for me!
This yarn makes a lovely fabric which softens with washing and use, and it knits very close to the guage indicated on the label. (a bit more "fine" in guage...) I have bought and used it in several projects ranging from sweaters to market bags.
Linen yarn look good, the color could look more natural (they are very uniform colours), but nice colours anyway. Pleased with it.
