FRESCOLINO by RI.Go, Italy is a refined 100% pure linen yarn with a fresh, elegant character and beautiful natural texture. This fine or light-fingering yarn is breathable, versatile, and especially well suited for warm-weather garments, lightweight accessories, and sophisticated handmade pieces.
Like true linen, it has a crisp and slightly dry feel at first, but it softens beautifully with washing and wear. FRESCOLINO is perfect for knitting and crochet, whether used on its own with one or two strands or blended with other yarns to create custom texture, softness, and fabric structure.
