Sport weight Strength. Timeless Drape. Everyday Luxury. Euroflax 14/4 is a sportweight 100% linen yarn spun from true long-line flax in Belgium. Double-boiled and wet-spun for strength and softness, this 4-ply yarn offers the perfect balance of structure and flow. It starts with a crisp hand and transforms into a buttery-soft fabric with every wash. Each 100g skein contains approximately 270 yards—ideal for warm-weather garments, accessories, and home textiles that last a lifetime.
What Makes Euroflax 14/4 Special?
- True Long-Line Flax: Spun from fibers over 1 yard long for stronger yarn and smoother fabric. No tow or short fibers.
- Double-Boiled & Wet-Spun: Steam and water processing removes impurities and softens the fiber without harsh chemicals.
- 4-Ply Structure: Provides durability, smooth texture, and consistent tension for knitting, crochet, and weaving.
- Softens with Time: Linen gets better with age—softer, drapier, and more relaxed with every wear and wash.
Project Applications
- Knitting: Tanks, tees, shawls, cardigans, and spa cloths. Works well in stockinette, lace, garter, or textured stitches.
- Crochet: Lightweight garments, mesh wraps, market bags, and summer accessories.
- Weaving: Towels, napkins, runners, and table linens. Suggested sett: 10–12 epi for plain weave; 15 epi for twill.
Tips for Working with Linen
- Pre-Wash Your Swatch: Linen gauge may tighten slightly after washing. Always block swatches before measuring.
- Winding Required: Skeins must be wound into balls before use. Hand-winding is recommended to avoid tangles.
- Handle with Care: Join yarn at side seams (not edges) when working garments with open fronts. Weave in ends with duplicate stitch method for best results.
- No Elasticity: Linen doesn’t bounce—relax your tension and embrace the drape. Expect some growth after wearing.
Performance & Comfort
- Breathable & Cool: Naturally moisture-wicking and heat-regulating—perfect for summer wear.
- Durable & Machine-Washable: Stronger than cotton, and softens beautifully with machine washing and drying.
- Antibacterial & Hypoallergenic: Naturally resists odors and is gentle on sensitive skin.
Eco-Friendly & Certified
- EUROPEAN FLAX® Certified: Grown in Western Europe without GMOs, artificial irrigation, or synthetic chemicals.
- Mechanically Processed: Traditional scutching and retting—no chemical extraction methods.
- Oeko-Tex Certified Dyes: Dyed using safe, eco-conscious methods approved for skin contact.
- Zero Waste: Fully biodegradable, with no microplastic shedding or landfill impact.
Care Instructions
- Wash: Machine or hand wash using mild, bleach-free detergent. Cool or lukewarm water recommended.
- Dry: Machine dry for softness or air dry for a crisper finish. Remove while damp to steam press if desired.
- Iron: Steam or press on low heat. Spray with water and smooth by hand for quick wrinkle release.
- Initial Fuzz: Expect some shedding in the lint trap after early washes—this is normal and temporary.
