I can't wait to try it on, but this is the only warm weather fibre I have tried. I am looking forward to try more, linen and a lace weight fibre sounds wonderful for a summer knit.

I've been knitting for 14 years and have only made one wool sweater that gets minimal use in the winter (less than a handful of wears) since its only cold enough 1-2 months or if the year. Sadly even cotton can feel hot and heavy here. And silk feels sticky when you're sweating... :(Andreahttp://redeemedrose.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
