Filpucci S.P.A. · Taykal 14500 · 1450m/1586yds per 100g/3.5oz · 75% Linen (Li) 25% Polyamide (PA)

Taykal 14500 by Filpucci S.P.A. is a linen-polyamide super-fine thread with a distinctly appealing visual character. The polyamide component introduces a delicate, gentle sheen that runs continuously through the linen base, creating a thread that is neither purely matte nor openly glossy but something more refined between the two: a soft, natural luminosity that catches light with quiet elegance and gives the finished fabric a subtle inner glow.

75% linen provides the honest, breathable foundation that linen does best: crisp in structure, cool to the touch, and with a smooth hand that softens beautifully with wear and washing. The linen's natural character and the polyamide's gentle sheen complement each other precisely, the matte natural fiber and the soft synthetic shimmer creating a thread with more visual depth than either alone.

Taykal 14500 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as a companion thread, adding linen's natural breathability and a gentle continuous sheen to any summer combination.

Versatile Use

At 1450m/100g, Taykal 14500 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 natural linen character and a delicate sheen define the design.
