Our Opinion
I used a larger needle, 4.5mm to create a drapier fabric, and it worked up beautifully.
I made a top that can be layered on top of a t-shirt and underneath a jacket to make a versatile piece of clothing that can be worn year-round.
As is usual with linen, the fabric feels quite stiff at first but softens after the first wash. It has a beautiful light sheen.
