Milo by Manos del Uruguay is a gorgeous single ply yarn, in a 65% Merino and 35% Linen blend. Making it’s first appearance in the shop this spring, we’ve been dreaming of what do make out of this lovely yarn. The Linen unique nature gives Milo a rustic yet elegant look, with its raw fibers and sophisticated shine. The blend of Linen and Merino make it perfect for season spanning projects such as lightweight tops and on-trend layering pieces. As the summer begins to heat up, we can’t help but dream of the cooler fall evenings ahead. We’ve been eyeing the two patterns below as transitional pieces to take us into those cooler nights.
