Duet combines the ease of weaving with cotton with the sheen and hand of linen. The subtle variegation in the linen adds a slightly marbled visual element to projects. Buttery and smooth on a multi-shaft loom, this yarn is also a wonderful introduction to linen for rigid heddle weavers who have a few projects under their belts. Duet weaves into beautiful summer scarves and shawls, as well as heirloom-quality towels and dining linens that soften and improve over time.
Every year I make something for my best friend's birthday. This year she requested an off white table runner that she could use with a favorite set of floral china. I have used Gist Yarn kits for several projects over the past two years and love the yarns so I decided to use a Gist yarn for this project. I chose Duet Cotton/Linen in Pearl because the color looked like exactly what my friend had requested and the description of the yarn sounded perfect for an elegant runner. I designed my own project instead of using a kit so I was a bit apprehensive about weaving with an unknown yarn. I made a small sample and was thrilled with the results. The yarn was very easy to weave with on a rigid heddle loom and after wet finishing appeared to have flecks of silver throughout that gave it a sparkly look. Having a successful sample gave me the confidence to go ahead with the runner and it turned out beautifully! I will definitely use this yarn again for any project that requires a light, elegant yarn.
