Line is Sandnes Garn's plant-based worsted yarn: completely wool-free and built from a blend of cotton, viscose, and linen that prioritizes drape and breathability. The cotton provides softness and washability, the viscose adds fluid drape and a subtle sheen, and the linen contributes natural breathability and a crispness that softens and improves with wear. The result is a yarn that behaves very differently from wool: less elastic, more drapey: and is best suited to patterns designed for plant-based fibres. Like many plant-based yarns, it can comfortably knit at a slightly tighter gauge: which is why we include it in the DK section as well as worsted. Just gauge swatch carefully. Excellent for warm weather garments, and a good option for knitters and recipients who prefer or require wool-free yarn.

dependable, versatile, and ready for anything

Line is a yarn that we would categorize as a workhorse. Workhorse yarns are dependable, sturdy, and reliable. They’ll help you get the job done: no drama, no complaints, just steady confidence and comfortable results. Built to balance durability with wearability, they’re the quiet backbone of many well-loved garments.

Don’t mistake dependable for dull. Workhorse yarns are wonderful partners for textured stitches and colourwork patterns that deserve to shine. And as always, swatching will help you get the fabric you’re hoping for.
