Linen

The ancient raw material flax, from which linen is spun and from which clothing has been made for millennia, is now only cultivated in very few regions of Europe. For a long time, linen led a shadowy existence in the hand-knitting sector. Too hard, too stiff, too expensive... But today, linen is finding more and more admirers among knitters, and rightly so! Even if it sometimes feels a bit cumbersome when knitting, it gradually softens with wear and washing. The excellent climatic properties and the clear stitch definition are two more qualities that these yarns boast. We also have recycled linen in our range, which is much softer due to its manufacturing process and results in wonderfully flowing knits. Blended with cotton, it also creates wonderful summer yarns in bright colors, such as the ALLINO from BC GARN.
