G&G Filati · Lino 5300 · 530m/580yds per 100g/3.5oz · 100% Linen (Li) · Sequins · Micro Lurex
Lino 5300 by G&G Filati takes the linen-sequin combination one step further, adding micro lurex to the thread alongside the delicate scatter of sequins. The result is a yarn with two distinct layers of light: the sequins provide punctuated, precise sparkle, while the micro lurex runs continuously through the thread, adding a fine, barely-there shimmer that catches light between the sequins and gives the base itself a soft metallic warmth. Together they create a fabric that glows rather than simply sparkles.
100% linen keeps the composition grounded and breathable. The natural matte character of the linen provides the perfect counterpoint to the sequins and lurex, ensuring the light effects read clearly without becoming overwhelming. Cool, structured, and luminous all at once.
Lino 5300 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as a companion thread, adding linen's natural breathability, sequin sparkle, and continuous micro lurex shimmer to any combination. Equally at home soloing in a refined summer piece or elevating any yarn it is paired with.
Versatile Use
At 530m/100g, Lino 5300 works in 2 strands for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Ideal for summer tops, lightweight cardigans, shawls, and warm-weather occasion pieces where natural fiber quality and layered luminosity define the design.
