This 9/2 yarn is produced and dyed in Canada from flax fiber grown in France. Available in a variety of striking colors.

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.

Please note: Please choose colours from the colour chart as the Bamboo is very hard to photograph due to the reflective quality of the yarn.
