NILO by Botto Giuseppe is a luxury Italian 100% pure linen yarn with a crisp refined texture, beautiful stitch definition, and approximately 1300 meters per 100 g. This fine lace-weight linen is perfect for summer sweaters, tops, cardigans, crochet, weaving, lace projects, and elegant warm-weather garments that need breathability, structure, and timeless natural beauty.

This yarn starts crisp and structured, then softens beautifully with washing and wear. The clean SNOW WHITE color makes it especially attractive for summer fashion, bridal-inspired projects, resort wear, heirloom accessories, and refined minimalist knitwear.

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
NILO combines the beauty of pure natural linen with luxury Italian spinning quality and a very versatile lace-weight construction. It is refined enough for elegant garments but strong and practical enough for real summer wear.

Unlike heavy rustic linen yarns, this fine Nm 2/26 structure allows makers to control the final fabric by using multiple strands, weaving it, crocheting with it, machine knitting it, or pairing it with other luxury yarns.

One of the best qualities of pure linen is how beautifully it improves over time. Finished garments become softer, more relaxed, and more comfortable with washing and wear while keeping linen’s natural strength and elegant structure.

The SNOW WHITE shade is especially beautiful for bridal projects, summer tops, resort wear, minimalist fashion, heirloom textiles, and clean Mediterranean-style knitwear.

➤ IMPORTANT — Yarn Usage
This is a fine lace-weight linen yarn and is generally best used in multiple strands for hand knitting, crochet, weaving, machine knitting, or as a companion yarn.

• 3 strands: approx. 433 m / 100 g
• 4 strands: approx. 325 m / 100 g

NILO works beautifully for summer sweaters, lightweight tops, cardigans, shawls, wraps, lace projects, breathable scarves, luxury weaving, and heirloom-quality garments.

Swatching is highly recommended because linen fabric changes beautifully after washing and softening.

Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)

⚑ FOR FULL-CONE SALES, THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR THE CONE. Yarn will remain on its original cone.


⚑ FOR YARN THAT IS NOT SOLD AS A FULL CONE BUT IN VARIOUS WOUND WEIGHTS, ALL YARN WILL BE WOUND INTO BALLS BY DEFAULT. CONES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE YARN PRICE. However, we can wind it onto cones upon request. Cones may be purchased separately if you prefer continuous yardage for machine knitting or multi-strand projects. One color is typically wound per cone to maintain consistency.

PLEASE BUY CONES HERE

Unlike other shops where cone costs are often built into the yarn price—regardless of the format—our pricing is transparent. You pay only for the yarn itself. If you’d like your order wound on a cone, it can be purchased separately. This small additional charge also helps cover packaging differences and the actual cost of the cone. No hidden fees, no inflated markups—just honest, straightforward pricing.

Please Note

  • Please keep in mind: cone yarns, especially those made with extra fine merino or cashmere, may include a protective coating used for industrial knitting. A few gentle washes will allow the yarn to bloom, soften, and reveal its natural texture.
  • Colors are photographed in natural light but may appear slightly different depending on your screen.
  • FOR YARN THAT IS CUSTOM-WOUND, ±1–2g variation per 100g may occur due to winding.
  • Each ball/cone is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.

Shipping & Order Processing

Orders are prepared in the order received and typically ship within 3–5 business days. Custom requests such as cone winding may require additional time. Multiple orders placed before shipment may be combined. Shipping refunds are not issued for combined orders.

We ship worldwide with tracking provided. As customs policies and tariffs can change frequently, any duties, taxes, or import fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer. These charges are not collected by us at the time of purchase but are typically paid to your local postal service or customs office upon the arrival of your package.
