It is light in the hand, easy to handle, and pleasant against the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two fibres do different jobs. Cotton keeps it breathable, so a Nepal top is comfortable to wear in the heat. Linen gives it its handle and its staying power, and garments made from it tend to hold their shape rather than stretching out, and they do not wear thin quickly. It is a plant based yarn throughout, spun and dyed in Italy, and the colours come out clear and lively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAiry tops are the obvious place to start, though Nepal has enough warmth in it to work right through the year, which makes it a sensible choice for a light sweater or cardigan you can wear in an air conditioned office and then carry outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✔ Cotton and linen blend – breathable, with a pleasant handle\u003cbr\u003e✔ Special twist – a natural texture that shows beautifully in simple stitches\u003cbr\u003e✔ Holds its shape – garments tend not to stretch out or wear thin\u003cbr\u003e✔ Light and easy to work with, and gentle on the skin\u003cbr\u003e✔ Clear, vibrant natural colours\u003cbr\u003e✔ Plant based and vegan friendly\u003cbr\u003e✔ Spun and dyed in Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposition: 60% cotton, 40% linen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn Weight: Fingering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 50 g hank (1.76 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeterage: Approx. 180 m (197 yds)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Needle Size: 3.0 to 4.0 mm (US 3 to 6, UK 9 to 11)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGauge: 28 stitches and 36 rows to 10 cm (4 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity Guide: Sweater in size small, approx. 350 g (7 hanks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Cotton from Italy, linen from China.
