C4 Linen Collection This is a fabulous recycled pure linen yarn in lots of fabulous colours with a healthy discount when buying bulk quantities. An excellent yarn for weaving in the warp and weft, macrame and braiding, knitting and crochet. This strong yarn is also excellent for braids and tassels and any project needing a strong yarn in rich, muted shades or subtle neutrals. The yarn is fairly crisp and has little drape making it excellent for knitting or crocheting into vessels, placements and bags. However, knit or crochet it into garments, throw in the washing machine and tumble drier and it transforms into a soft, wearable yarn. We've also designed a brilliant string bag to create your very own "bag for life". One spool will make two bags - see the patterns section of the site for more details. Originally this yarn was 4 fold 10's metric. However, there were only 5 shades (Connemara) and there was demand for more colours. We have now added more, but some of these recent yarns are finer than the originals. This means that the yarns may, in some cases, be of differing thicknesses from colour to colour - equivalent to approx 10/4 - 10/3nm and the meterage per spool is between 900m-1200m. **Although we will continue making this yarn as long as we have the raw material, we cannot always guarantee that colours will be identical from batch to batch**Click for full colour range
