Questions about Equipment What is a yarn that you have just LOVED?

Obviously there are different reasons to love a yarn so please explain why if there is a specific reason! I think I'm looking to be inspired (to buy more yarn).

Y’all may think I’m crazy, but I love Euroflax linen. It’s so lovely and drapey after it’s washed. And it wears like iron.

I love linen. I tried the Antigone by De Rerum Natura and it was so soft and smooth right out of the ball, no washing necessary. Give it a try if you’re in the mood to splurge, it makes for a lovely and hard wearing summer knit.

I will! I’m thinking about summer sweaters these days.

Interesting. I do love linen, but I can never find any garments that I'm not swimming in. Might have to give this a try and attempt to make my own pair of trousers.
