Flyss would be lovely for summer tanks and tees, shawls, skirts, and blouses! Holding two strands together gives you a DK/Worsted weight and creates a lovely effect with the variegation. You can also pair one of the variegated colours with a solid colour for striping or or colour-blocking! Flyss would also make for a beautiful weaving yarn, as it has plenty of strength!
