PAILLETTES Linen Yarn, G&G Filati BELLINO, Premium Italian Lace Yarn, Balls or Cons, 390m/100g

Linen Sequin Yarn, GG Filati BELLINO, Italian Linen Paillette Yarn, Balls or Cones, 400m/100g If you love linen but want something a little more special, BELLINO offers the perfect balance of natural elegance and subtle sparkle. This beautiful Italian yarn combines 100% linen with clear 2 mm paillettes that catch the light without overwhelming the fabric. The result is sophisticated knitwear with texture, drape, breathability, and just enough shimmer to make every project feel unique. Unlike heavily embellished yarns, BELLINO remains refined and wearable. The linen creates crisp stitch definition, beautiful summer drape, and excellent durability, while the transparent paillettes add a delicate glow that works equally well for casual luxury garments and elegant evening pieces. After washing, the linen relaxes, softens, and develops the effortless character that makes high-quality linen so beloved among knitters. ▣ Product Specifications • Manufacturer: GG Filati, Italy • Article: BELLINO • Fiber Content: 100% Linen • Embellishment: Clear 2 mm Paillettes (Sequins) • Yarn Category: Lace Weight • Yarn Count: Nm 4300 • Yardage: approximately 430m / 437yd per 100g (3.52oz) • Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE) • Origin: Made in Italy ⌁ Texture & Feel • Crisp linen character • Subtle elegant sparkle • Excellent stitch definition • Lightweight and breathable • Beautiful drape after washing • Cool against the skin • Refined natural texture • Softens significantly with wear ⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special BELLINO combines two qualities that are rarely found together: the timeless beauty of pure linen and the understated glamour of transparent paillettes.
