Linocott balances the softness of cotton with the strength and breathability of linen in an even 50/50 blend. Linen softens with washing and wear, so finished fabric improves over time: it starts with a pleasantly crisp hand and becomes more drapey and supple with use. Washable and durable, it's a practical choice for summer garments, market bags, dishcloths, and anything that needs to hold up to regular use. Good stitch definition and a clean, natural palette.
indulgent fibres with excellent manners
Linocott is a yarn that we would categorize as a polite hedonist. A polite hedonist loves luxury but keeps its manners. These yarns are made from indulgent fibres that feel wonderful to work with and create soft, wearable fabrics: luxury that behaves itself beautifully.
Still worth a proper introduction: swatch before committing, especially when substituting. And when it comes time to wash, treat finished pieces gently so the fibres can stay at their best.
