Following the Swing Fair in February and the Parade Fair in March, we will be holding the Wanderlust Linen Fair at our brick-and-mortar shops in April. We have always made our own original yarns in pursuit of what we wanted, so naturally we came up with yarns that are perfect for seasons when it is difficult to find yarn. Parade is perfect for the season between winter and spring, and Wanderlust Linen is refreshing to knit with as we approach summer.
Wanderlust Linen was created with the desire to create a cool and light linen thread for the summer. It is chain-shaped, light, and crisp yet gentle to the touch. It has a moderate sheen and is soft, so it drapes beautifully.
WALNUT Kyoto and WALNUT Tokyo will be holding a Wanderlust Linen fair in early summer. We will be exhibiting samples knitted with Wanderlust Linen, focusing on the original collections created by amirisu up until now.
