Durable. Breathable. Beautifully spun. Euroflax 14/4 is a 100% wet-spun linen yarn made from the world’s finest long-line flax. Spun and finished in Belgium by a heritage mill, this sportweight yarn is prized for its strength, softness, and natural beauty. With approximately 640–650 yards per 8 oz cone, it's ideal for home textiles, lightweight garments, and projects that need breathable structure and long-lasting wear.
Craft Better with Long-Line Flax
- True Long-Line Flax: Spun from fibers over a yard long for smoother yarn and stronger finished fabric—no cut “tow” fiber.
- Wet-Spun Quality: Steam, humidity, and water create a clean, round yarn with a subtle sheen and excellent drape.
- Double-Boiled & Steam-Processed: Softens the fiber and removes residual plant matter for a clean, easy-to-work base.
- Softens with Use: Feels crisp in hand but becomes supple with each wash, resulting in heirloom-quality softness over time.
- Exceptional Longevity: Naturally strong, abrasion-resistant, and anti-pilling—ideal for frequently washed items.
Project Ideas & Use Cases
- Weaving: Towels, napkins, runners, garments, and medium-weight home linens. Rigid heddle and floor loom friendly.
- Knitting: Tees, tanks, summer tops, cardigans, spa cloths, and accessories. Best in stockinette, mesh, or openwork stitch patterns.
- Crochet: Lightweight wraps, cloths, market bags, or kitchen accessories.
Comfort Meets Performance
- Breathable & Moisture-Wicking: Absorbs up to 20% of its weight in water without feeling damp—ideal for warm weather.
- Antibacterial & Hypoallergenic: Naturally resistant to odors and gentle on sensitive skin.
- Temperature-Regulating: Keeps you cool in summer, layered warmth in winter.
Eco-Conscious & Certified
This yarn is produced using environmentally responsible practices from seed to cone:
- EUROPEAN FLAX® Certified: Flax grown without irrigation, GMOs, or synthetic treatments.
- Mechanically Processed: No harsh chemical retting—just water, pressure, and tradition.
- Oeko-Tex Dyes: Certified safe for both people and planet.
- Biodegradable: 100% natural linen will fully decompose at end of life.
Caring for Your Linen Projects
- Washing: Machine wash on gentle cycle with mild soap. Cool water preferred. Avoid bleach and softeners.
- Drying: Line dry for crispness, or tumble dry for softness. Remove while damp to steam press.
- Ironing: Steam while damp or use a spray bottle to smooth out wrinkles (“poor man’s iron”).
Tips for Working with Linen
- Ball-winding may spread—hand-winding is recommended for better control.
- Dampening warp threads can help reduce breakage and improve selvage tension.
- Expect some fuzz in the lint trap after initial washes—this is normal.
