Milo is a gorgeous simple ply merino and linen blend.
The linen's unique nature gives Milo a rustic yet elegant look, with its raw fibers and almost metallic shine. Manos uses unbleached linen and non-superwash merino for a more natural option.
We love the drape of the finished fabric and find it perfect for mid-season projects such as kerchiefs, shawls, and lightweight sweaters and tops. It's a versatile yarn that can be knit successfully at sport through DK gauges, and the tooth allows it to show off lace patterns, too!
