Shibui Koan

Let's face it, linen is one of those fibers that we love to wear but don't always love to knit, right? Shibui Koan will change your mind on that forever. A silky smooth blend of linen and mulberry silk, Koan is lovely to knit. None of the stiffness you usually associate with linen, thanks to a supple chainette construction that moves and drapes, creating a fabric with a soft suppleness you would never expect from linen.

Both linen and silk absorb dye really well, so Koan has rich saturated colors, and the mulberry silk gives it a subtle and beautiful sheen. I absolutely adore this yarn for summer tops and year round garments that are effortlessly elegant and feel just a little bit dressed up without looking like you tried too hard.
