Sandnes Garn Tynn Line is a thin fingering yarn combining cotton, viscose, and linen, especially suitable for light knits. The yarn feels soft and absorbent, giving the knit a beautiful, lively surface and natural drape.

Cotton (53%) provides breathability and a pleasant feel against the skin, viscose (33%) gives a beautiful sheen and a soft drape, and linen (14%) makes the surface cool and fresh. The result is a versatile summer yarn that works equally well in simple tops and more demanding lace structures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tynn Line best suited for?

Tynn Line is a good choice for thin summer knits such as tops, shirts, and light scarves. The fingering weight and airiness of the yarn also make it an excellent choice for crochet where a light and drapey result is desired.

Is Tynn Line soft or non-itchy?

Tynn Line does not contain wool, so it is well-suited for even more sensitive skin. The cotton-viscose-linen blend feels soft and breathable – viscose, in particular, brings a silky softness to the yarn. Itchiness is individual, but the yarn is typically comfortable to wear directly against the skin.

How much yarn do I need?

For example, for an M-sized Cumulus Tee, you will need 5 balls of Tynn Line. Yarn consumption varies depending on the project's size, design, and knitter's tension. We recommend checking the yarn consumption of the pattern you are using and comparing it to the Tynn Line ball size (50 g / approx. 220 m). This will give you the most reliable estimate of the number of balls needed.

What size needles or crochet hook are suitable for this yarn?

Sandnes recommends 3 mm needles. For crochet, a 2.5–3 mm hook usually works well. However, always remember to knit a swatch before starting your project – your tension affects the final result, and the correct gauge ensures that the model turns out the correct size.
