Linen Yarn by Servizi E Seta LINO MELANGE is a luxury Italian extra-fine lace yarn made from 100% linen, with approximately 2000 meters per 100 g. This is a refined, high-quality linen designed for blending, weaving, machine knitting, and creating lightweight, breathable garments with a clean, structured finish.

This yarn is finer than most linen yarns on the market and offers high meterage per 100 g, making it an excellent companion yarn. It is not intended for comfortable single-strand hand knitting, but when used correctly, it transforms fabrics — adding structure, reducing stretch, and creating that crisp, elegant “European summer” look.

An exceptional yarn for blending — a true luxury companion that enhances any fiber you pair it with.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
LINO MELANGE by Servizi E Seta is a high-quality Italian linen yarn with a beautiful subtle melange effect that adds depth and character to the fabric. Unlike flat solid yarns, this thread creates a more interesting surface even in simple stitches.

Linen is one of the most valuable fibers for summer and layering garments. It has very low elasticity, which helps stabilize fabric, prevent stretching, and maintain shape over time. At the same time, it is breathable, moisture-wicking, and naturally cooling.

Even a small amount of linen can elevate a blend, making it look more refined, structured, and finished.
