Built-in Beauty, From Fiber to Finish
- Single Ply Structure: Gives a rustic, slightly textured hand with visible natural variation—perfect for heirloom-quality pieces.
- Multicolor Blends: Spun from blended flax hues inspired by rocks and minerals, each colorway offers rich tonal depth with an organic feel.
- 100% Long-Line Linen: Wet-spun for strength, softened by time and wear, and known for its beautiful natural luster.
- Eco-Conscious Fiber: Flax is low-input, non-GMO, biodegradable, and sustainably processed using only water, heat, and mechanical methods.
Project Applications
- Weaving: Ideal as weft yarn or paired with a stronger warp like Euroflax 30/2. Works beautifully in plain weave, twills, and decorative structures. Suggested sett: 20–28 epi depending on structure.
- Knitting: Excellent for lacework, light summer garments, and accessories. While the yarn feels crisp at first, it softens with each wash.
- Crochet: Use for openwork patterns, home decor, or lightweight accessories. May require yarn management due to its lack of elasticity.
Performance & Benefits
- Breathable & Moisture-Wicking: Keeps you cool and comfortable, especially in warm climates.
- Durable: Withstands repeated machine washing and hard use—ideal for towels, napkins, table linens, and bags.
- Softens Over Time: Begins crisp, then mellows into supple, drapey fabric with a smooth hand.
- Natural Sheen: Adds a quiet elegance to woven and hand-knit fabric.
Care Instructions
- Wash: Machine or hand wash in cool to warm water with mild, bleach-free detergent.
- Dry: Tumble dry low or air dry. Items soften more quickly with machine drying.
- Ironing: Steam press while damp for a crisp finish. Wrinkles can also be smoothed with a spritz and hand pressing.
