Linen – Katia
4,95€
✓ Mezcla lino y algodón: queda fresco y con buena caída, pero sin la rigidez del lino puro porque el algodón lo suaviza.
✓ Da prendas de verano con aire natural y artesanal, como tops calados, jerséis finos o ponchos ligeros, with needles or crochet.
✓ Tiene estructura propia, así que también funciona muy bien para bolsos, cojines y toallas de mano que se usan mucho.
Why you will love it?
Es un lino que no queda tan rígido como el lino puro, gracias al algodón que lo suaviza. El lino aporta cuerpo, resistencia y una caída elegante, y el algodón da flexibilidad para que sea cómodo de tejer y de llevar.
Las prendas resultan frescas sobre la piel, con un aspecto natural y artesanal.
Perfect for…
Jerséis y tops de verano. Chaquetas finas caladas, ponchos ligeros y tops de tirantes. Para un jersey de manga corta en talla 42 calcula unos 8 balls of yarn.
Chalecos de ganchillo texturizados. El cuerpo del hilo mantiene bien la forma.
Bolsos, mochilas de red y sombreros de verano. Piezas con estructura gracias a las fibras vegetales.
Cojines, mantas y toallas de mano. Proyectos para el hogar que piden durabilidad.
Va bien si ya has tejido algún jersey de verano y quieres probar una fibra con más cuerpo.
Council of La Menina Tejedora
Compra todos los ovillos de una vez para que el tono sea uniforme en toda la pieza. Y si vas a hacer ropa, teje una muestra: el lino se comporta distinto al algodón puro.

Welcome to La Menina Tejedora!
I'm Eva and I welcome you to my project. In 2020 I went through a very hard illness, and knitting was what helped me the most to get ahead.
That hobby became La Menina Tejedora, mi wool store.
Today I prepare each order from my physical store in Alcala de Henares, thinking about who is going to receive it.
Do you have doubts about which material to choose?? write to me: I help you as if you were on the other side of the counter.
Frequently asked questions
They may vary slightly depending on the brightness and settings of your screen.. If color is key for your project, Write to me and I'll tell you how I see it in hand. If you live nearby, You can also stop by the physical store and compare the yarns in natural light.
write to me at hola@lameninatejedora.es or click on the WhatsApp icon before placing the order. I am a store specialized in wool, knit and crochet, and I advise knitters of all levels on a daily basis.. Tell me what work you want to do, What pattern are you going to follow or what material gives you doubts?, and I help you choose calmly and without obligation.
The first thing is to look at the band of the ball: there are the care instructions for that fiber, so keep it next to the pattern so you don't lose it. Even so, It is best to wash by hand, with cold or warm water, no rubbing or twisting, and dry flat. Special soap for wool is available in the store., designed to take care of your work with love. If you have doubts about a specific fiber, ask me.
Yeah. In addition to this online store, I have a physical store in Alcalá de Henares (Madrid), where you can see the materials in person, touch the fibers and ask for advice. I also do tejequedadas several times a month, where we meet to chat and knit. If you want to check before coming if I have anything specific, write to me and I'll tell you.
