Mojave
Kelbouurne's love of cellulose-based fibers led to the development of Mojave. A versatile sport-to DK-weight yarn consisting of five sets of very fine 2-plys, Mojave is lightweight, strong, and smooth with great stitch definition. This pima cotton and linen blend is as pleasant to knit with as it is to wear, and, as a bonus, it can be machine-washed!
