LINO by Servizi E Seta, Italy is a premium 100% linen lace-weight yarn with 1300m per 100g, designed for breathable summer garments, elegant layering pieces, weaving, and refined natural fiber projects. This ultra-fine Italian linen delivers a crisp, structured fabric that softens beautifully after washing, making it ideal for knitters who want lightweight, long-lasting pieces that look better with wear.

This is a true linen experience — slightly dry and structured before washing, then noticeably softer, more fluid, and more comfortable after the first wash. It holds shape, does not cling to the body, and creates clean, defined stitches with a natural matte finish. Perfect for modern, minimal garments that need both structure and breathability.

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

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
This is not a soft, fluffy yarn — and that’s exactly why it works. Linen gives you structure, breathability, and durability that other fibers cannot. This fine count allows you to control thickness and drape through strand count, making it far more versatile than typical linen yarns.
