Whisper

A summer project may represent many hours of careful work, so choosing the right yarn matters from the very first stitch. WHISPER by Lang Yarns brings together the natural strength of linen and the gentle touch of cotton. The result is a lightweight yarn for breathable, flowing pieces that make an impression through quiet texture rather than excess.

A four-ply linen and cotton yarn

WHISPER is made from 76% linen and 24% cotton. During plying, soft cotton fibres are held within the core of the four-ply yarn. This construction combines the strength associated with linen with the softer hand of cotton. It moves lightly across knitting needles or a crochet hook, helping each row feel calm and enjoyable.

If you are particularly sensitive to the feel of yarn around your neck, make a generous swatch before committing to a larger garment and test it briefly against your skin. This lets you assess the touch, texture and drape for yourself. When a pullover takes many hours to complete, that small step can help you choose with greater confidence before casting on.

What to make with WHISPER

Designed for the spring and summer season, this plant-fibre blend is suited to projects intended to breathe and flow. Consider lightweight tops, pullovers and cardigans, as well as wraps and warm-weather accessories. WHISPER can also be used for crochet projects, as the yarn is made to glide over either needles or a hook.

Before beginning your chosen pattern, use the swatch to see how the yarn works with its stitch structure. It will help you assess stitch definition, openness and drape, whether your design uses simple fabric, textured stitches or airy motifs. The reference gauge is 19 stitches and 26 rows over 10 cm with 3 to 4 mm needles. Your own tension and the requirements of the pattern will determine which size within that range gives the intended result.

A choice of 29 colours

WHISPER is available in 29 colours, offering room to coordinate the yarn with your pattern and personal palette. Select your colour and check your gauge carefully before investing hours in the finished piece. Your time is worth more than a hurried yarn decision, and understanding the fibre, construction and tension at the start gives your project a considered foundation.
