Alfama
Alfama, a 100% linen yarn from Portugal, gives you all the benefits of linen including light airy garments and accessories that are perfect for warm weather. Linen, made from the stem of the flax plant, is a strong, natural fiber that is also hypoallergenic making it a good choice for people with sensitivity to other fibers. Initially linen yarn will feel stiff, but will soften dramatically with washing (yes, it’s machine-washable). Once softened, your linen garments will have beautiful drape, will feel comfortable against the skin and last for years to come.
