Linificio 100 Linen Cone Yarn · 2/28Nm · Italy

This pure linen yarn from Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale — one of Italy's most respected flax spinners — offers the crisp, breathable character and natural dry handfeel that only fine European flax can give, with a clean surface and a subtle organic texture. Spun at 2/28Nm, it is light yet structured, making it especially suited to summer fabrics and garments that value coolness and quiet refinement.

This listing is available in two colorways: a soft beige — muted, warm, and grounded, with an understated earthy calm — and a deep true black, dense and elegant, with a quiet modern depth. Both tones are especially suitable for minimal aesthetic knitwear, tailored summer pieces, and timeless natural designs.

As an industrial surplus yarn, this cone provides consistency in spinning quality while maintaining flexibility for creative development. Pure linen brings strength, breathability, and a distinctive cool crispness that softens beautifully with washing and wear.

Important Notes

• This yarn is crisp and cool, with a dry natural hand that softens over time
• Please specify your preferred colorway (Pale Khaki or Black) when ordering
• For best results, swatch before production to test tension and fabric density
• Cone yarn is different from skein yarn and must always be swatched before knitting to evaluate shrinkage and gauge
• Linen relaxes and softens after washing — a gentle wash brings out its natural drape and handfeel
• For added softness or drape, it can be combined with cotton, silk, or other fibers
• Some cones may be rewound onto empty cones without original mill labels
• May have mild outer dust or storage marks
• Sold as is, without retail packaging
• All yarns are 100% functional with no visible flaws or defects affecting usability
• Please note that cone yarn is wound in an industrial format
• In rare cases, internal breaks may not be visible from the outside of the cone
• Please allow approximately 2%–3% knitting loss, which is standard for cone yarn handling
• In case of yarn breaks, pull away about 10 cm of yarn before rejoining and secure with a small cross-knot to reduce tension and avoid distortion in the knitted fabric
