Euroflax Linen Sport
The yarn:
This sport-weight linen yarn is made out of flax-fiber, which is custom wet spun in Belgium where the finest linen in the world is sourced from nearby flax grown in Belgium and France. The factory where the yarn is spun has been in operation for several generations with high quality, fine yarn production including double-boiling the yarn for soft, exceptional quality. The yarn is also steam processed to ensure maximum softness. Summertime knitting at its finest!
Length/Weight: 100 grams/270 yards (247m)
Gauge Designation: Sport
Gauge: 24 stitches = 4 inches (10cm) on US 2-4 (2.75mm-3.5mm) needles
Care: Machine wash on gentle cycle using a mild soap, like Soak. Dry for 15 minutes and lay flat, or for an even softer result, completely dry in the dryer. Items made with linen continue to soften with usage and washing.
