Eco-Stitch Natural Linen (50g skein)

This 100% linen yarn is strong and smooth with a beautiful natural sheen. Vegan, eco-friendly and sustainable yarn.

Undyed and unbleached. Linen yarn in its natural silver/beige colour. This linen yarn is quite rustic and can be used alone or combined with the hand-dyed Sport weight to create interesting effects. Ideal for all sorts of crafts.

The best quality linen comes from the long stems of the flax plants which are grown in the fields of Western Europe, in the coastal regions between Normandy in France and Amsterdam in Holland. It also has the label Masters of Linen, which is a guarantee of a 100% local and traceable European linen-to-yarn supply chain. This is where this linen fibre originated, before being spun into yarn.

This 100% linen can be machine-washed. Try to keep the spin speed no more than 1000 rpm. For best results, you can even dry the finished garment in the dryer for 15 minutes before lying flat to finish drying. With wearing your garment will become very soft with a beautiful lustrous silky effect. It can also be steam-ironed, which will help to soften it and enhance its natural sheen.
