I am not too sure about this, so I thought I'd ask here, but is a Buttermilk Knit from Emma One Sock a sheer knit like Onionskin, or is it something I can make a shirt out of without having to double up on or line?

Here's an example in case you need to see what fabric I'm talking about: http://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/newesttrendsl4105.htm

EOS buttermilk knits are opaque. Very soft, very stretchy. Very comfy. Usually when a fabric is sheer, Linda (EOS) will state that in the description.

It's also more a heavier weight than OS. It's my favorite poly knit as it sews up like a dream, has great recovery and the colors are bright.

Ok so basically these are good knits that I won't have to line with anything? That's what I'm looking for and EOS has some really cute printed knits that are hard to find elsewhere.
