Linen wool

The linen yarn for knitting brought together in this collection is intended for knitters who wish to focus their search on this fibre. Here you will find Lino, Fil coton Sunshine, Linello, Crealino and Pride in particular. This selection makes it easier to identify the relevant yarns and then assess each one according to your project, your preferences and its specific information.

Understanding the particular features of each linen yarn

The yarns presented here have linen in common, as this is the collection’s selection criterion. However, no information shared across the entire category is provided regarding their exact composition, feel, drape or warmth. These characteristics should therefore not be generalised from one yarn to another. Lino, Fil coton Sunshine, Linello, Crealino and Pride are distinct yarns that should be considered separately before you make your choice.

To determine whether a yarn is suitable for the item you are planning, take the time to consult its specific information. The appropriate type of project will depend on the stated characteristics of the chosen yarn as well as the instructions for your pattern. The same applies to care: as no common instructions are available for the entire collection, refer only to the recommendations associated with the selected yarn.

This approach prevents you from automatically attributing the same properties to all yarns containing linen. It is particularly useful when you are deciding between several yarns in the selection. Compare the available information for Lino, Fil coton Sunshine, Linello, Crealino or Pride with the specific requirements of your project, rather than relying on a presumed characteristic of the entire category.

How to choose your linen yarn for knitting

  • Check the appropriate needle size. Do not choose your needles based solely on the name of the collection. Use the information specific to the yarn you are interested in and compare it with the instructions for your pattern. If this information is not provided, ask for clarification before starting your project.
  • Determine the required quantity before ordering. Base your calculation on the requirements of the pattern you are following and the specific information for the selected yarn. The collection does not provide a universal quantity that applies to every project or each of the yarns it contains.
  • Compare the yarns individually. Lino, Fil coton Sunshine, Linello, Crealino and Pride belong to the same linen-focused selection, but their presence in a shared category does not mean that all their characteristics are identical. Review each product page before deciding.
  • Check any combination of yarns. If your pattern calls for knitting several yarns together, make sure the information for each yarn matches the desired result. If there is no explicit information about a combination, do not assume that two yarns in the collection are interchangeable or designed to be used together.
  • Keep your project as your point of reference. Before selecting a yarn, note the requirements stated in your pattern. You can then compare them with the information available for the yarn you are considering, without inferring its properties solely from the presence of linen.
