Knitting With Merino Linen

Merino and linen shouldn’t work together. One is animal. One is plant. One is soft and elastic. The other is structured and cool. And yet… when blended, they create one of the most beautiful fabrics for a summer tee. In this fibre deep-dive, I explore: – The origins of merino sheep (from Spain to South Africa, South America, and Australia) – How merino is processed from fleece to yarn – Why fine merino can pill - and how linen changes that – The ancient history of linen (flax in Egypt, medieval Europe, and beyond) – How flax becomes linen through retting, scutching and hackling – What happens when different blend percentages shift fabric behaviour – Texture and skin sensitivity: who merino-linen is best for – And the surprising religious history of wool and linen being forbidden together This turned into a full fibre documentary… and I loved every minute of it. If you’re curious about why your yarn behaves the way it does - or you’re considering knitting a merino-linen tee - this one’s for you. 🧶 The tee featured: Cashmere Outside Tee 🌾 Fibre focus: merino + linen blends 📚 This episode explores textile history, fibre science, and knitting design philosophy. Let me know in the comments: Do you love merino-linen? Or are you a pure fibre loyalist?
