Filpucci S.P.A. · Planet 23000 · 2300m/2515yds per 100g/3.5oz · 90% Linen (Li) 10% Polyamide (PA)

Planet 23000 by Filpucci S.P.A. is linen at its most refined, a micro-weight thread of extraordinary fineness that carries all of the fiber's inherent virtues in their most concentrated and elegant form. 90% linen brings exceptional breathability, natural cooling properties, a crisp, even structure, and the characteristic matte luster that deepens and softens with every wash. At this fineness the linen is particularly smooth and consistent, producing a thread that behaves predictably across all strand counts and rewards careful multi-strand knitting with fabric of genuine quality.

10% polyamide reinforces the fine linen structure with durability and dimensional stability, ensuring the thread holds its form through knitting and wear without compromising the linen's natural character in any way.

Planet 23000 works beautifully as a standalone yarn at multiple strand counts and as a companion thread, adding linen's natural breathability, cool hand, and refined texture to any summer combination.

Versatile Use

At 2300m/100g, Planet 23000 works from fingering through worsted weight for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Ideal for lightweight tops, refined summer sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and warm-weather garments where the natural quality of fine linen defines the design.
