FLAX—ALSO KNOWN AS LINEN— is an eco-friendly fiber made from the stem of the flax plant. It is tough, breathable, and cool to the touch.
SPINNING: Flax is much prized for adding longevity and a lovely drape to yarns. The fiber will get softer with each wash, but will not become stretchy. Perfect for creating summer garments, household linens, and accessories that will last for many years to come.
FREE FROM TOXINS: Our fibers are rigorously tested to meet strict GOTS and Oeko-Tex standards. This means they are guaranteed to be free from harmful substances often found in manufacturing such as formaldehyde, pesticides, and heavy metals.
ECO-FRIENDLY: Our vegan plant-based fibers are sustainable, biodegradable, and 100% cruelty-free. Kind to your skin and the planet!
Natural Flax is an ancient fiber that can be spun into linen - it is cool to the touch and most prized for making fashionable summer garments. It is a strong, durable fiber with an average staple length of 5 inches and can be spun by itself or blended with other fibers. If you have not tried spinning flax, it is not hard at all... the sliver requires no special preparation and drafts easily. You may want to dampen the fiber a bit and work with a towel on your lap to catch any chaff. The yarn may be a bit stiff at first but softens from handling, knitting, washing and wearing and will last a long, long time! We are proud to offer you a large selection of vegan fiber that is sustainably sourced, conscientiously dyed and safe for the environment.
