Suitable yarns include:
Alice is a soft and sophisticated 4ply blend of Merino d’Arles and linen. The yarn is worsted spun to increase the strength and softness of the fibres and twisted into three strands to create a balanced, rounded yarn that remains supple.
With 216 m / 50 g, it is at the lighter end of 4ply and can be knitted very tightly for durable socks without synthetic material, or more loosely for sweaters and accessories that will benefit from the drape of the linen. The natural springiness of the Arles merino gives the yarn a beautiful elasticity, while the linen adds a subtle shine and a feel that is so pleasant against the skin.
It can be knitted on its own for lightweight projects, but also doubled for durable, soft jumpers, or held with a lace weight mohair yarn to play with textures and colours.
Alice yarn is spun and dyed near Biella in Italy with GOTS-certified dyes.
