For the new design, I'm working with Handmaiden Flaxen and I love this yarn. Usually, I'm not a big fan of linen because it's a little rough on the hands, but combine it with silk and it's a whole different experience. However, the rough, textured look of the linen has been preserved. I love the way it has worked up in the lace pattern.
And the color of the yarn? The transitions between colors are so slight, they just melt together. The ladies at Handmaiden certainly know their craft very well.

Intriguing intriguing glimpse, Melissa! Can't wait to see what it is. Having just finished a Physicsknits design (that sounds so weird to me) in 100% linen, I hear you on the roughness. My hands are *just* recovering now. But you're right, the finished fabric is beautiful. I can only imagine how lovely linen and silk would be.
Looks lovely!
Love the way it looks so far! :)
I am working with linen right now, and it is a little rough on the wrists, for me, but I know it will be worth it in the end - it wears so well!
It does indeed look pretty and enticing....
My only linen experience so far is with CEY Soft Linen which I really liked (linen, alpaca and wool) beautiful drape and slightly rustic texture.
