Timeless linen for lasting craftsmanship. Euroflax 14/2 Linen Yarn is spun from the world’s finest long-line flax and wet-spun for strength, smoothness, and heirloom-quality results. Made in Belgium and certified under the EUROPEAN FLAX® standard, this 2-ply laceweight linen yarn arrives on generous 8 oz cones with approximately 1,225 yards—perfect for weavers, knitters, and fiber artists creating projects that are built to last.

The Linen Standard for High-Performance Projects

• Durable & Long-Lasting: One of the strongest natural fibers—ideal for towels, garments, and high-use items.
• Softens with Every Wash: Starts crisp, then softens beautifully through repeated washing and wear.
• Cool, Breathable & Moisture-Wicking: Absorbs up to 20% of its weight in moisture while staying dry to the touch—perfect for warm climates.
• Gorgeous Natural Drape: Slightly crisp hand lends elegance to table linens, garments, and accessories.
• Hypoallergenic & Antibacterial: Naturally antimicrobial and gentle on sensitive skin.
• Color-Ready: Takes dye beautifully and is available in richly dyed or natural shades.

Made with Integrity

Euroflax is a true long-line linen—never cut short during processing—and spun using traditional wet-spun methods for exceptional strength and sheen. Sourced and produced entirely in Belgium, this yarn is:

• EUROPEAN FLAX® certified (non-GMO, no irrigation)
• Mechanically processed—no harsh chemicals
• Dyed with Oeko-Tex certified, safe dyes

What to Expect When Working with Linen

• Low Stretch: Manage tension gently—linen lacks elasticity but rewards patience with beautiful results.
• Susceptible to Abrasion: Warp back to front to reduce reed friction; consider sizing the warp for smoother weaving.
• Humidity Helps: Misting the warp or dampening your fingers helps relax the fibers and reduce breakage.
• Hand-Winding Recommended: Wind from skein into a ball with even tension—avoid center pulls and tight ball winders.

Pro Tip: Release loom tension at the end of the day. Linen tightens as it dries, which can strain your beam.

Project Ideas & Technical Use

• Weaving: Perfect for towels, napkins, lightweight garments, curtains, and lace inlays. A 3-yard warp yields approx. 3 towels. Recommended sett: 14–22 epi (16 epi for plain weave with an 8-dent reed).
• Knitting & Crochet: Best for shawls, summer tops, tanks, wraps, dishcloths, and placemats. Avoid highly textured patterns—opt for stockinette or light lace with open drape.

Caring for Your Linen Projects

• Wash: Machine or hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and softeners.
• Dry: Tumble dry low for softness, or line dry for crispness. Remove while damp for steam pressing.
• Block: Wet blocking works well for lace and openwork. Most linen items don’t require aggressive blocking.
• Stain Removal: Dish soap gently massaged into the fibers works well—avoid scrubbing or stretching.
