Luna linen/silk is an unusual blend of linen (plant fiber) and silk (protein fiber). It's dense and soft, drapey and sturdy, all at the same time. I've never known a yarn like this. In fingering weight, it makes filmy soft fabric that flows around your body. In worsted weight, it can make a plush fabric that's heavier but somehow also cooling.
For Lather washcloths, Luna makes the kind of Very Special Thing that becomes a gift: for a new baby, for a treasured friend, for yourself. It's the good china and the fancy napkins, but in something as homey as a washcloth.
My 50g half-skein made two Lather cloths (each one is about 8 by 6 inches, and I used a US size 5 needle).
