About: Block Island Blend


• unique fiber combination of 35% hemp, 35% cotton & 30% rayon
• a ply of gentle slub cotton for a homespun look, a ply of rayon for sheen and a ply of a hemp for extra body and strength
• a Halcyon Yarn Exclusive, spun and dyed just for us
• suitable for weaving, and hand or machine knitting The color line mirrors that of our Newport Linen and Casco Bay Cottons (items 96, 97, and 98), making these yarns perfectly compatible. Mix and match these great yarns in your favorite projects. Knitters: Stylish yet casual, Block Island Blend makes beautiful, light weight, warm weather clothes; knit a dressy sweater, or if you prefer, a comfy weekend pullover. Single stranded, Block Island Blend knits as a sport weight yarn; when doubled it becomes a worsted weight. Machine knitters, try a tension of 7-8 on standard machines. Weaving Yarn Tip: Block Island Blend is well suited as both warp and weft. Consider combining it with many of our other wonderful cottons and linens. Be creative and play with color and texture. It is an excellent choice for drapery, table linens, and yardage for clothing or upholstery. General Notes: The true characteristics of Block Island Blend are best seen after hand or machine washing on the gentle cycle and machine drying. Plan on 10% shrinkage when calculating the amount of yarn you need. As always, we recommend sampling before you start your project. When working with bold or highly contrasting colors we suggest sampling and testing for color fastness. It is not uncommon for excess dye to be a problem in strong colors. If bleeding occurs, skein the yarn, wash it until the water runs clear and let it hang dry.
