G&G Filati · Lino 6500 · 650m/711yds per 100g/3.5oz · 100% Linen (Li) · Sequins

Lino 6500 by G&G Filati is pure linen with a delicate scatter of sequins — a yarn that brings together the most honest of natural fibers and the most celebratory of embellishments. The linen thread is clean, crisp, and evenly spun, with the natural matte luster that is entirely linen's own. Against this understated backdrop, the sequins catch light with a quiet, refined shimmer — present and beautiful without ever overwhelming the fiber beneath.

100% linen delivers everything it promises: exceptional breathability, natural cooling properties, a smooth hand that softens with wear, and a structural integrity that makes finished fabric last. The sequins are distributed with restraint along the thread, creating a consistent rhythm of light across the fabric surface that elevates any stitch pattern without complicating it.

Lino 6500 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as a companion thread, adding linen's natural breathability and a delicate sequin shimmer to any combination. Equally at home soloing in a refined summer piece or elevating any yarn it is paired with.

Versatile Use

At 650m/100g, Lino 6500 works from sport through worsted weight 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 delicate sparkle define the design.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water

Use a mild detergent suitable for linen

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Linen softens and relaxes after washing, altering both drape and gauge. Accurate swatching ensures proper fit and yardage estimates.
