Product Description
Katia Linen 039 Violet
Celebrate summer with Katia Linen. This fresh and lightweight yarn is ideal for early summer clothing and accessories that feel comfortable against the skin. Thanks to its blend of cotton and linen, the yarn is breathable, strong, and lightweight—perfect for tops, sweaters, dresses, airy cardigans, and accessories you’ll love to wear on warm days.
Katia Linen is a DK-weight yarn and works well with 3–4 mm knitting needles or 3 mm Crochet Hooks. The linen fiber gives your project a natural, slightly rugged look, while the Cotton ensures softness and comfort. One ball weighs 50 grams and has a length of 112 meters, so you can complete a summer project with relatively few balls.
This yarn looks stunning in crocheted or knitted tops, long cardigans, lightweight sweaters, beach ponchos, and accessories such as bags, cushions, and shawls. Thanks to its natural fibers, Katia Linen is also a great choice for anyone who enjoys working with plant-based yarns.
FAQ About Katia Linen
What is Katia Linen best suited for?
Katia Linen is especially suitable for summer clothing and accessories, such as tops, sweaters, dresses, beach ponchos, lightweight cardigans, and bags. Thanks to its cotton-linen mix, the yarn feels comfortable in warm weather.
Does Katia Linen feel soft or a little stiff?
Because it’s made of linen, Katia Linen feels slightly sturdier than a 100% cotton yarn at first, but after washing and wearing, it becomes more supple and softer. The cotton fiber provides extra comfort against the skin.
Can I use Katia Linen for both crocheting and knitting?
Yes, Katia Linen is suitable for both crochet and knitting projects. Use 3–4 mm knitting needles for clothing and a 3 mm Crochet Hook for items such as tops, bags, or Home Accessories.
How many balls of yarn do I need for a sweater?
As a general guideline, you’ll need about 8 balls of KatiaLinen for a women’s sweater in size 42. For smaller or larger sizes, the number of balls will of course vary; always check the pattern and knit a Gauge swatch.
What's the best way to wash Katia Linen?
You can machine-wash Katia Linen at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Use a mild detergent, lay your project flat to dry, and avoid using the dryer to preserve the shape and texture of your knitted or crocheted piece.
