*****
For the epitome of understated elegance, Flaxen is it. Its beauty speaks in hushed tones, the sort that can be heard across the room because their quiet breaks through the surrounding hubbub. You can see what I mean in the photos: The linen draws the color into the background, but the silk makes sure it is stunning, like bright sunshine behind a hazy cloud; Flaxen drapes with a firm, graceful sureness that gets better and better over time as it continues to soften with each wearing or washing. As if that wasn't enough, you'll discover that it is a delight to knit -- it glides smoothly across your needles and speaks to your hands as it goes by. What it tells them is stories of all the good things from the earth, of gardens filled with flowers and food, of birds, butterflies and blue skies, and of friends gathered around the table. This is one great yarn.
