Lineapiu · Lisboa 2600 · 260m/100g (284yds/3.5oz) · 74% Cotton (Co) 26% Viscose (Vi)

Lisboa 2600 by Lineapiu is a tightly twisted cotton-viscose cord yarn with a distinctly slippery, mercerized character — a thread that moves through the fingers with almost frictionless ease and knits into fabric with a clean, defined surface that catches light with a subtle, silky sheen. The twist is tight and even, giving the cord a firm, rounded profile and exceptional stitch definition that rewards precise knitting.

74% cotton provides the structure and breathability, while 26% viscose adds a fluid drape and a smooth, lustrous finish that elevates the blend well beyond a conventional cotton yarn. The viscose content is what gives Lisboa its particular hand — slightly cool to the touch, silky in movement, and with a natural sheen that intensifies in finished fabric.

The high twist and slippery surface make this yarn one to work with deliberately — it slides easily from the needle, and that ease translates into fabric with a refined, polished finish. Stitches sit cleanly and evenly, making it an excellent choice for textured patterns and any design where clarity of stitch is part of the aesthetic.

Versatile Use

At 260m/100g, Lisboa 2600 is a true DK-weight yarn ready to knit and crochet as is. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. The cotton-viscose cord performs particularly well in warm-weather garments where drape, breathability, and a polished surface finish are priorities. Ideal for summer sweaters, cardigans, tops, and accessories where structure and sheen define the piece.
