MERLIN, making summer sweaters of merino-linen yarn

Colorways from left to right:

Summer Spash, Pearl Peach, Sunshine Saffron, Frost, Lime Leafs

I have a crush on the MERLIN. This single ply of 90% merino yarn and 10% linen is so soft and eyes rustic due to the linen. The linen is not dyed and will stay white. The linen is also a bit irregular and creates sometimes white flocks.I love it.

In the summer of 2020 I knitted a Yume (Isabell Kraemer)  with this yarn. The original idea was to have a summer sweater. In practise I wear it whole year long. And it's time to make another one.

The 2020 Yume is in the color Frost. The 2021 one will be in Lime Leafs.

Met een warme groet uit Schoorl,
Henny
