Allino is a classic combination of linen and cotton, available in a wide range of beautiful colors. Crisp and cool to the touch, this plant fiber yarn has a subtle marled look, a result of the different ways that linen and cotton absorb dyes. One ply is muted, and the other is slightly glossy, which makes for a lively fabric without distracting from your stitch pattern.
The linen in Allino is sourced in Belgium, the cotton in different countries. Allino is spun and dyed in Italy. The dyes used are within Ökotex standards and free of animal derivates, so that this yarn can be called truly vegan.
Allino is popular for tees, tanks, and relaxed long-sleeved layers - head to our blog for pattern ideas!
