This is a lovely light weight yarn which is great for knitting clothing items such as those in Elsebeth's book Viking Knits. This silk in the yarn gives it drape while the flax(linen) adds strength and a rustic feel.
I'm very pleased with the yarn and the service from Yarn Canada.

Lava Silky Wool yarn is awesome
I love this yarn. Have knit a number of sweaters using this yarn. It drapes beautifully and I love the feel of the yarn when knitting with it.
