Lightweight. Strong/ Timelessly Elegant. Euroflax 30/2 is a 100% long-line flax yarn that’s wet-spun for strength, softness, and heirloom-quality results. With an ultra-fine 2-ply structure and approximately 1,686 yards per 6 oz cone, this yarn is perfect for weaving, knitting, and crochet projects that demand both delicacy and durability. Whether you're crafting handwoven napkins, lace shawls, or breathable garments, this yarn delivers crisp stitch definition and a soft hand that improves with use.
What Makes Euroflax 30/2 Exceptional?
- True Long-Line Linen: Spun from flax fibers over a yard long for smoother yarn and stronger, more refined fabric.
- Wet-Spun & Double-Boiled: Water, steam, and pressure produce a soft, round yarn with natural luster and minimal plant residue.
- Ultra-Fine Yet Durable: Lightweight enough for detailed work but strong enough to withstand everyday use.
- Softens with Every Wash: Starts crisp and structured; becomes supple and beautifully draped over time.
- Yardage: Approx. 1,686 yards per 6 oz cone (4,500 yards per pound).
Project Applications
- Weaving: Ideal for handwoven napkins, sheer curtains, table runners, and garment fabric. Recommended sett: 24–30 epi for plain weave.
- Knitting: Best for open, breathable garments like tees, shawls, and summer tops. Pairs well with lace or simple stockinette patterns.
- Crochet: Suitable for lightweight wraps, home goods, and garments with structure.
Performance Benefits
- Exceptional Strength: Linen is 30% stronger than cotton and holds up to repeated washing and wear.
- Breathable & Absorbent: Wicks moisture and keeps cool against the skin—ideal for warm-weather wear.
- Anti-Pilling & Hypoallergenic: Resists fuzzing, and is naturally antibacterial and gentle on sensitive skin.
- Wrinkle-Resilient for Knits: While woven linen wrinkles naturally, knitted linen tends to resist creasing better.
Working With Linen
- No Stretch: Linen has zero elasticity. Work with relaxed tension and expect some drape and growth in finished garments.
- Even Tension Comes Later: Uneven stitches are common early on but will smooth out after washing and blocking.
- Weaving Tips: Mist the warp with water to help with selvage control and achieve a tighter, more balanced fabric.
- Hand-Winding Recommended: Use even tension while winding. Avoid center-pull balls to reduce tangling.
Sustainable & Certified
- EUROPEAN FLAX® Certified: Non-GMO flax grown without irrigation or synthetic inputs in Western Europe.
- Mechanically Processed: No harsh chemical retting—flax is broken and scutched using traditional, mechanical methods.
- Oeko-Tex Dyes: Dyed using safe, certified methods that meet global eco-standards.
- Biodegradable: 100% plant-based and breaks down naturally at end of life.
Caring for Your Linen
- Wash: Hand or machine wash on gentle cycle using mild, bleach-free detergent. Cold or lukewarm water recommended.
- Dry: Tumble dry low for softness or air dry for a crisp hand. Avoid high heat and fabric softeners.
- Iron: Steam while still damp, or spritz with water and press. Press dark colors on the reverse side.
- Stain Care: Use mild dish soap and cool water for stubborn spots. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
