the linen yarn knitted up beautifully to a 4 ply pattern. it was lovely to knit with - the texture of linen, but also pliable with an easy softness to it.

the linen yarn knitted up beautifully to a 4 ply pattern. it was lovely to knit with - the texture of linen, but also pliable with an easy softness to it.
Lovely yarn to work with, very nice subtle colour variation in the strands, occasional thicker bits to the yarn due to natural fibers. I’m enjoying the results .
First time using linen. No give in it whilst crocheting, but formed a lovely garment with a slight sheen.
The yarn feels soft and has a nice sheen. I have not yet had a chance to use it but expect it to knit to guage. The color is slightly more green than I thought it would be, but that is the fault of the calibration on my computer monitor and not of Love's display. It is still quite a nice color, and I think I might like a summer tee out of it as well as the trim on a market bag which was what I originally purchased it for.
I have been making Linen lacey infinity scarfs for the summer. The drape of the yarn is superb for this
The worst yarn ever! It already came splitted. If you frog it, you can’t use it second time
First time I have used DMC Linen 4ply and it is knitting up well.
I like this yarn. It knits up nice and evenly with no splitting. I’ve done a cable pattern using it and it looks good and distinct.
Yarn gives quite a nice 'rustic' type finish but isn't that easy to crochet with. The yarn is a bit uneven.
Still making my garment , only just started sofar so good.
