Merino Linen Silk is a premium yarn that blends the softness of Australian merino wool with the natural texture of linen and the elegant sheen of silk. The result is a lightweight yarn with beautiful drape, subtle texture, and a refined finish ideal for garments and accessories.
This yarn is typically produced in sport / 5-ply weight with approximately 350 m per 100 g skein, making it well suited for shawls, lightweight garments, and delicate knitting or crochet projects.
Fibre Composition
60% Australian extra-fine merino wool – softness and elasticity
20% silk – adds shine and fluid drape
20% linen – introduces subtle texture and durability
This combination produces a yarn that feels soft against the skin while maintaining structure and breathability.

Why Knitters Love Merino–Linen–Silk Blends
Each fibre contributes a specific performance benefit:
Merino wool: softness, warmth, elasticity
Silk: strength and lustre
Linen: breathability and durability
Together these fibres create a yarn that works well across seasons, offering warmth without heaviness and a fluid drape that suits garments and accessories.
