Lingarn - 5 Midnattsblå

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.

Commercially dyed yarn is dyed in large vats, usually made into large hanks of 1 kilo or more. The yarn is dyed to an extremely precise, all over colour using gradually rising heat. You can generally expect commercially dyed yarn to be very even and dye baths to be exact.

Commercially dyed yarn is wonderful for projects where you want a consistent, all over colour, or even colourwork pieces like fair isle or stranded knitting.
