MB 100% Linen 12/4 Yarn - 227gms - 411 mtr
This beautiful natural Belgium Linen is an alternative to traditional cotton warp thread. Its texture and raw look will add new dimension to any wall hanging.
- 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 linen 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.
- 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.
