5 Knitting & Crochet Patterns for Bohème by Fonty
About the Yarn
Bohème is a beautifully balanced plant-based yarn made from a blend of linen and cotton. The cotton adds softness and brightness, while the linen brings a natural texture and an eco-conscious touch, as flax cultivation requires far fewer resources than cotton. Fonty combines high-quality French and Belgian linen with exceptionally soft Turkish cotton to create a yarn that feels both refined and natural.
Light, supple, and breathable, Bohème is perfect for summer garments and airy accessories. Its palette features a range of warm, understated shades designed to complement timeless, effortless projects.

TIPS: While Bohème is safely machine washable at 30°C, we highly recommend hand-washing your finished piece for its first bath. Plant-dyed fibers may "bleed" a little excess pigment initially, but rest assured, your garment will not lose an ounce of its rich, gorgeous depth.
