Euroflax Linen Yarn - Sport Weight

Euroflax is a wet-spun, long line linen yarn made out of flax fiber. It is called “long line” because the plant itself grows more than a yard tall. When it is standing in the field, it is a beautiful sight: bright blue flowers waving in the wind. At harvest time, the flax is cut and laid to dry. The linen fiber is inside the long stems of the flax plant. Euroflax yarn has been used by hand-knitters for more than 20 years in North America. 

Euroflax is a true long-line linen, meaning that the flax fibers have not been cut. Many linen yarns are made from tow linen, the shorter or cut flax fibers. The difference shows in the quality and beauty of the fabrics made with Euroflax linen yarn. 

Euroflax Linen absorbs color beautifully. It’s durable, absorbent and non-allergenic. Linen can absorb 20% of its weight in water without feeling damp and the pectins in the fiber give it a heat-regulating quality. 

One of the more unique qualities of Euroflax Linen Yarn is its extreme durability. Machine wash and dry repeatedly and your handmade items just get softer and nicer.

General Linen Tips

  • Linen feels stiff until it’s been “worked”. The more it is wound, twisted or washed and dried the softer it becomes. 
  • Balls wound on a ball winder may tend to spread; hand wound balls work best. 
  • Items made with Euroflax can be machine washed, dried and steam pressed with a hot iron if needed. 
  • It’s normal for fuzz to gather in your lint trap the first few washings. 

Linen Weaving Tips

  • When weaving, dampen the warp with a water mister or foam paint brush dipped in water for neat selvages. Dampening the warp will also help rigid heddle weavers obtain a tighter fabric. 
  • It can be helpful to dampen your fingers when winding bobbins to soften the weft yarn. 
  • If crisp table linens are desired, remove the fabric from the dryer while still damp and steam press to enhance luster.

Fabulous Flax

"This is fabulous flax. It feels natural and strong. Very evenly spun. Smooth with a natural shine. The color is very pure and subtle. I'm knitting lace curtains with size 10 needles, and the yarn holds its shape beautifully. I wanted it to have body, not be soft or wimpy. It also comes on cones which is convenient for large projects."

I Love This Yarn

"I love this yarn! It’s machine washable and dryable. The more you wash it, the better it gets. It’s wirey to work with, but don’t let that get to you. After you wash and dry it, it’s fabulous. It’s lustrous, with a beautiful drape. Also, it’s much easier to work with from the cone, and a better value."

This past Wednesday, I was

"This past Wednesday, I was having breakfast with my sisters in a local coffee shop. Also in the shop was a small knitting group which is part of a larger knitting group. I highly recommended The Woolery to them. They started goggle searching for the online immediately. 😍"

The end result is beautiful.

"The color is beautiful and the top I knit came out so nice. After putting it through the washer and dryer and then blocking it became so soft. Working with this yarn was tough. It’s rough and hard on the hands but the end result was worth it."

Delightful

"I haven't finished the project yet but the yarn has already softened up a lot, just from the knitting process. I'm making a summer top from multiple colors of it and it's going to be perfect. I'm looking forward to using it in handwoven towels this fall too. It's just a delight to work with."
