100 Linen Cone Yarn · 1/3.8Nm · China

This pure linen cone yarn offers a substantial yet refined handfeel — soft to the touch with a firm, honest backbone, never coarse or hairy. Spun at 1/3.8Nm, it is a robust, mid-weight yarn that holds its structure beautifully, making it well suited to garments and fabrics where body and clean definition matter.

The color is a low-saturation dusty blue — muted and atmospheric, with a soft greyed depth that feels calm, modern, and understated. It is especially suitable for timeless knitwear, structured summer pieces, and minimal aesthetic designs.

As an industrial surplus yarn, this cone provides consistency in spinning quality while maintaining flexibility for creative development. The pure linen content brings natural strength, breathability, and that distinctive cool, dry crispness, while its smooth spinning gives a clean, polished surface with quiet character.

Important Notes

• This yarn is substantial and firm, with a soft hand and clean, non-hairy surface
• For best results, swatch before production to test tension and fabric density
• Cone yarn is different from skein yarn and must always be swatched before knitting to evaluate shrinkage and gauge
• Linen softens beautifully with washing and wear — a gentle wash relaxes the yarn and brings out its natural drape
• For added softness or drape, it can be combined with cotton, silk, or other fibers
• Some cones may be rewound onto empty cones without original mill labels
• May have mild outer dust or storage marks
• Sold as is, without retail packaging
• All yarns are 100% functional with no visible flaws or defects affecting usability
• Please note that cone yarn is wound in an industrial format
• In rare cases, internal breaks may not be visible from the outside of the cone
• Please allow approximately 2%–3% knitting loss, which is standard for cone yarn handling
• In case of yarn breaks, pull away about 10 cm of yarn before rejoining and secure with a small cross-knot to reduce tension and avoid distortion in the knitted fabric
