Laceweight Linen for Timeless Projects. Euroflax 14/2 is a premium 2-ply laceweight linen yarn spun from the world’s finest long-line flax. Wet-spun for smoothness and strength, it arrives on a 4 oz cone with approximately 613 yards—ideal for fine weaving, knitting, or crochet. Made entirely in Belgium and certified under the EUROPEAN FLAX® standard, this yarn is crafted to last and soften beautifully over time.
When Your Projects Deserve a Better Linen
- Strong, Lightweight, and Beautifully Draped: Laceweight linen spun for smooth fabric with heirloom-level durability. Ideal for towels, shawls, garments, and accessories that improve with age.
- Softens with Use, Not Chemicals: Starts crisp, but softens noticeably after every wash and wear. Double-boiled and steam-processed without harsh additives.
- Naturally Cool, Breathable, and Skin-Friendly: Absorbs up to 20% of its weight in moisture while staying dry to the touch. Hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and great for warm-weather wear.
- Color-Ready and Earth-Conscious: Takes dye exceptionally well for rich, vivid hues. Spun from non-GMO flax with no artificial irrigation or chemical retting. EUROPEAN FLAX® certified and Oeko-Tex dyed for eco-responsible production.
Tips for Working with Linen
- Tension & Technique: Linen has no elasticity—work with relaxed tension. Expect some growth in garments and slight tightening after washing. Swatch and block before measuring gauge.
- Weaving Advice: Warp back to front to reduce abrasion from the reed. Misting the warp or fingers improves fiber flexibility. Consider sizing the warp for smoother results.
- Winding Tip: Hand-wind from the cone or use a swift and ball winder gently—avoid center-pull yarn cakes to prevent tangling.
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 lace scarves, summer tops, tanks, wraps, dishcloths, and placemats. Avoid highly textured patterns—opt for stockinette or light lace with open drape.
Care Instructions
- Wash: Machine or hand wash in cool water with a mild, bleach-free detergent.
- 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.
