Soft Lino, 50 g

LAINES DU NORD Natural Line SOFT LINO, 50 g Organic cotton and soy fibre yarn The refined Soft Lino yarn with a soft twist is made from beautifully lustrous linen fibre and exceptionally soft, long-staple pima cotton. As both linen and cotton are plant-based fibres, the yarn is completely vegan. Linen gives the yarn durability, excellent moisture absorbency, and breathability. It breathes, feels cool on the skin and is suitable for all seasons. One ball weighs 50 grams and contains approximately 135 metres of yarn. The yarn’s natural colour palette inspires both knitting and crochet projects. Even a small quantity is enough to create beautiful garments for summer season, such as sleeveless summer tops, sweaters, and cardigans. The yarn is particularly well suited for textured and lace knitting patterns. You can find the knitting patterns for the garments shown in the pictures on the Laines Du Nord website. The yarn originates from Italy and is manufactured in Avigliana, in the Piedmont region. The manufacturer holds the Ökotex certificate 23CX00111 CENTROCOT.
