LINO has an innovative band construction that takes pre-washed linen to new heights of sophistication. This uniquely constructed yarn features soft linen fibres knitted into a lightweight band, creating a distinctive texture that adds refined detail to every project.
The pre-washed processing ensures Lino starts soft and only gets better with wear, eliminating the traditional break-in period often associated with linen yarns. Its band structure creates fascinating textural effects while maintaining the natural characteristics that make linen perfect for warm weather – breathability, moisture-wicking, and a delightful coolness against the skin.
This remarkable yarn transforms simple stitches into elegant fabric with a modern twist. Whether you're creating a breezy summer top, a sophisticated wrap, or lightweight accessories, Lino adds an architectural element to your work while maintaining the fluid drape that linen is celebrated for.
Each project made with LINO becomes a testament to thoughtful design, where the yarn's unique construction creates subtle dimension and movement in your finished pieces. The pre-washed quality means your garments will maintain their refined appearance and comfort from the very first wear, making this yarn a perfect choice for those who appreciate both innovation and tradition in their summer knitting.
