Claudia Handpainted Yarn's Drama is a sportweight linen yarn that is a great alternative to wool for summer garments, with a lovely drape and sheen.

While linen can feel a little rough in the skein, it softens up immediately upon first washing into the softest garment imaginable. Use three or four skeins of Claudia's Drama linen yarn for an average-sized women's short-sleeve top, or just one makes several scrumptious facecloths.
