Linen is a very di erent bre for those of us who are used to knitting with wool, but the drape and feel is completely unique and special. Mirabeau is designed for summer holidays and evenings dining al fresco. The linen fabric may feel rough while you are knitting it, but the nished fabric is a world apart. It travels well and gets softer the more it is worn and washed.
