As simple as breath, Line Weight conjures pure beauty and grace.

  • This 100% sumptuously soft merino wool is a lithe single ply whose loose twist lets you feel the exquisite softness of the fiber.

  • Line Weight knits up into a smooth fabric that blooms beautifully and relaxes when hand washed. A fingering-weight yarn with a subtle glow, you’ll get a generous 494 yards of beautiful knitting with every 100-gram skein.

  • Use delicate Line Weight alone or with a strand of something special (like Tussock!) to make lovely hats, hand warmers, wraps, and cowls. Be sure to check out all our (mostly free) knitting patterns for Line Weight and cast on!

  • Line Weight is Peru Fair Trade Certified, which means the mill that makes it is committed to fair and safe working conditions, as well as a respect for the environment, with low-impact production techniques, a responsible consumption of resources, and the reuse, recycling, and reduction of raw materials.

  • It is also OEKO-TEX Certified and adheres to European REACH regulations that protect human health and the environment from harmful chemicals.

  • Looking for more yarn like this? Nigh Fine, our 100% cashmere fingering-weight yarn, Quartz, our suri-merino yarn, and Spindle, a gorgeous Irish tweed, are all beautiful alternatives to Line Weight that knit up at a similar gauge. For a plant-fiber option, be sure to check out Oleander, a gorgeous 50-50 mix of cotton and linen.
