Ashley from Louet is a fun and flouncy pleated skirt that worked in
short rows using LoftyFiber Euroflax Sport. The skirt is designed in two
lengths, short or knee-length. You also have the option of using any number of
contrast colors for the pleat, making this a truly unique project. Euroflax
Sport is the same long-line linen that you know and love. This yarn is made
from flax fiber that is double-boiled to give it a soft and supple feel. Linen
‘wears in,’ getting better and softer with wear.
