Linen yarn has a crisp feel and is very comfortable, but its stiffness makes it difficult to knit pile knitting. While many knitted items have areas where the yarn is pulled tight, this is a characteristic of the material, and we appreciate your understanding. However, we are offering some items that are slightly unsightly (but do not affect usability) at 25% off as an outlet (this time in charcoal). While supplies last, this offer will end when stock runs out. If you would like to purchase, please visit the linen pile five-finger "foot underwear" product page on our online store. Please note that as these are outlet items, we are unable to accept exchanges or returns. Thank you for your understanding.
