Amalfi
by Lang
What a great look and feel in yarn introduced by Lang. It is honestly "something completely different!" This yarn is a solid cotton core, wrapped with shiny nylon, giving both comfort in warm weather plus just a hint of glitz.
It has a lot of body to it, so it looks like shiny silk without all the drapey, saggy-ness of silk. I have swatched it myself, and washed it, and it gets a bit softer, but is still firm enough to hold the design features of more structured patterns. At the same time it will produce a great lacy fabric!

- 18 stitches & 25 rows = 4 inches
- US 7-8 needles (4.5-5 mm)
- 50 gram ball is about 99 yards (90m)

Good Earth Adorn Worsted Linen Blend
by Fibra Natura
This Good Earth variation is a speckle dyed option, and the colors are meant to coordinate with the solids. Good Earth is a soft cotton/linen blend that's easy on the hands and a pleasure to work with. We don't usually carry cotton yarns that knit to worsted or Aran gauge, because they can be so heavy to wear, and they easily stretch out of shape. Also, multi-ply cottons that are spun like wools so they are soft can shed and pill badly. The linen in this blend helps with all these problems, because linen is lighter and longer staple than cotton. Give these yarns a try!
- 100 g = about 170 yards (155 M)
- 53% Cotton, 47% Linen
- Worsted, Afghan, Aran
- About 5 st/inch on Needles: 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, About 3 st/inch on Hooks: I-9, J-10, K-10.5
- hand wash, do not bleach, dry flat
