Linen Yarn by Servizi E Seta LINO is a luxury Italian lace weight yarn made from 100% linen, with approximately 1300 meters per 100 g. This extra-fine Italian linen yarn is created for breathable summer garments, elegant layering pieces, weaving, and refined natural-fiber projects where structure, freshness, durability, and a clean matte finish matter.

This is a true fine linen yarn — crisp and slightly dry before washing, then softer, more relaxed, and more comfortable with washing and wear. LINO creates clean, defined stitches, holds shape well, and works beautifully for modern garments that need breathability, structure, and natural texture.

Because this yarn is extra fine, it is best used in multiple strands for hand knitting or crochet. This gives makers control over fabric weight, structure, and drape while keeping the finished piece cool, durable, and beautifully natural. LINO is also an exceptional companion yarn for blending, especially when you want to add linen strength, crispness, and summer wearability to another fiber.

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

⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special
LINO offers the understated elegance that only fine linen can provide. It is breathable, strong, durable, and naturally cooling, making it especially valuable for warm-weather garments and sophisticated textile work.

The extra-fine construction makes this yarn especially versatile because the final fabric can be controlled through strand count. In several strands, it creates lightweight summer knits with structure and drape. In weaving, it offers the strength and timeless texture that linen is known for.

Linen has very low elasticity, which helps garments keep their shape and creates a fabric that feels stable, breathable, and non-clingy. It is especially beautiful for summer tops, shells, scarves, wraps, cardigans, fine woven textiles, and natural home textiles.

✧ Fiber Profile

➤ IMPORTANT — Yarn Usage
This is an extra-fine lace yarn and is generally too fine for comfortable standalone single-strand hand knitting.

Recommended use:
• Two strands — still quite fine for many practical garments
• Three strands — creates a more usable fine fabric
• Four or more strands — better for hand-knit garments with more body
• Excellent for weaving and textile development

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.
