This fibre gives beautiful stitch definition, but a really unusual texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe linen content might give this fibre the appearance of being scratchy, and it definitely isn't. Those linen fibres simply provide a lovely texture, but aren't prickly. The braids will feel slightly stiff to start off, but the more you handle linen, the more flexible and softer it becomes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRomney is a long stapled British wool of 28-29 microns. By blending it with the silk it softens the blend, and increases the shine.
