Like it's big sister Flaxen, Lino is a consumately elegant yarn that speaks in hushed yet focused whispers. Also like Flaxen, Lino begs that you get to know it deeply, to savor all that it offers; there is no superficiality here. There is also no rigidity. One of the joys of Lino and Flaxen is that each time you work with the fiber, each time you wear it, each time you wash it and put it on again, it gets better than the time before. Like your best friend or an outstanding wine, Lino will not only offer timeless beauty, but actually improve with age and experience. Your beautiful lace will get more beautiful, softer, drapier day by day and year by year. It is just that alive with possibility.
