Mint Mist Linen ironcook a cap not only providedMint Mist Linen, at 2. 8 oz, is a very lightweight linen with a soft, cool green cast that reads as a gentle wash of color. The weave is fine and airy, giving the fabric a smooth hand and an easy, flowing drape. Its delicate weight makes it suitable for neckwear and accessories that benefit from a light, breathable linen with a hint of subtle color. The muted mint tone keeps the overall look refined while adding a quiet touch of freshness.
