It's hard to know exactly what to call this new fiber from Noro! It's created by combining french linen with Washi paper to make the perfect fiber for summer.
Just like linen, it has a stiffer "hand" when freshly knitted. However it softens and gets more drape as it's gently washed and worn. The knitted fabric creates a vapor barrier between the garment and your skin making it refreshing and wonderful for summer wear!
