Laceweight Linen. Unmatched Longevity. Refined Drape. Euroflax 14/2 is a lace weight 100% linen yarn spun from long-line flax in Belgium. Double-boiled and wet-spun for strength and softness, this 2-ply yarn offers a delicate yet durable fiber that softens beautifully with each wash. Each 100g skein contains approximately 540 yards—ideal for lacework, heirloom-quality garments, accessories, and woven textiles that last for generations.
Why Euroflax 14/2 is the Gold Standard in Linen
- True Long-Line Flax: Spun from fibers over a yard long for superior strength and smooth, clean fabric.
- Double-Boiled & Wet-Spun: Naturally softened and purified without harsh chemicals using steam and water.
- 2-Ply Laceweight: Balanced twist provides better tension control and stitch definition in both knitting and weaving.
- Softens with Time: Becomes softer, smoother, and more drapey with every wash and wear.
Project Applications
- Knitting: Lightweight summer tops, lace shawls, tanks, and spa cloths. Great for stockinette and openwork.
- Crochet: Lacy wraps, breathable garments, and market bags. Use lighter tension for soft drape.
- Weaving: Perfect for fine towels, table runners, and napkins. Recommended sett: 14–22 epi depending on structure.
Tips for Working with Linen
- Pre-Wash Your Swatch: Linen shrinks and tightens slightly—always wash and block your swatch before measuring gauge.
- Wind Before Use: Comes in skeins that must be hand- or ball-wound. Avoid pulling from the center.
- Manage Tension: Linen has no elasticity—loosen your grip and let the yarn flow to avoid hand fatigue.
- Finish Strong: Weave in ends using a duplicate stitch method. Join yarn at side seams for cleaner edges.
Performance & Comfort
- Cool and Breathable: Wicks moisture and regulates temperature naturally.
- Machine-Washable: Stronger than cotton and built to handle repeated laundering.
- Skin-Friendly: Antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and ideal for warm-weather wear.
Eco-Friendly & Certified
- EUROPEAN FLAX® Certified: Grown without GMOs, artificial irrigation, or synthetic chemicals in Western Europe.
- Mechanically Processed: Traditional scutching and retting—no chemical extraction methods.
- Oeko-Tex Certified Dyes: Dyed using safe, eco-conscious methods approved for skin contact.
- Biodegradable: Fully compostable and zero waste—safe for the environment and your conscience.
Care Instructions
- Wash: Machine or hand wash using cool water and a mild, bleach-free detergent.
- Dry: Tumble dry low for softness or line dry for a crisper finish. Steam press while damp if desired.
- Block: Wet block to enhance drape and smooth lacework. Use pins or wires for shaping.
