Allino is combines two classic plant fibres—cotton and linen—into a versatile, easy-knitting medium-light weight yarn. Its 4-ply structure consists of two singles of each fibre twisted plied together. Because each fibre takes the dye differently, the result preserves their individuality—the linen's rich gloss and the cotton's matte softness—while creating a very subtle marl effect. Allino is suitable for all sorts of projects, but especially summer tops.
