If you love our Silk Linen Fleck (of course you do!), then you'll also love this new, beefier version. This one is a 50/50 blend of Tussah Silk and Linen. The construction is 7/1, making it a heavier, thicker version of our much beloved Silk Linen Fleck. The colour is a mid-grey, a bit lighter than our Silk Linen Fleck, due to the higher Linen content. We love weaving it into the weft to pop the warp yarn colours. It's a bit sticky to use in the warp, but with enough patience and TLC, it's possible. Or try alternating it with 100% Silk to make it a smoother wind-on.
