Lingarn from Växbo Lin is a light fingering weight yarn spun from 100% linen, made in Sweden with environmentalism genuinely at its heart. Linen is a fibre with some unique and practical qualities: its smooth texture naturally resists dirt, meaning your finished projects stay looking fresh for longer than those made from animal fibres - a real advantage for warm weather garments and everyday pieces that get regular wear. Combined with linen's characteristic fluid drape, this makes Lingarn a natural choice for summer knitting. New to linen? It's worth knowing that the yarn starts out with a satisfyingly robust, crisp texture in the skein, but softens noticeably as you wind, knit, and block - and continues to soften with every wash and wear thereafter. It's a yarn that genuinely improves with time.
