Yarns & Warp Yarns for Weaving
A selection of yarns and warp yarns suitable for weaving on rigid heddle and floor looms. While many of our yarns can be used for weaving, the yarns in this section are specifically designed for reliable warp and weaving performance.
For creative textile work using fibre, please visit our Fibre section and select the Use_Weaving filter.
Strong, crisp linen yarn designed specifically for warp.
This 100% linen warp yarn is spun in Germany from Western European flax. Linen is known for its exceptional strength and crisp behaviour on the loom, producing clean sheds and firm, well-defined woven structures.
While weaving, linen feels slightly wiry and structured. After washing and finishing, the fibres relax and soften, creating the beautiful drape typical of linen fabrics.
The yarn is supplied on 225g cones and is available in three variants.
| Variant | Count | Length | Approx. Cone Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thin Linen Warp – Natural | 6/2 (2-ply) | ~300m / 100g | ~675m |
| Thin Linen Warp – Bleached | 6/2 (2-ply) | ~300m / 100g | ~675m |
| Thick Linen Warp – Natural | heavier linen warp | approx. 225g cone | suitable for heavier fabrics |
These setts provide a starting point. Final sett will vary depending on weave structure and desired fabric density.
| Yarn | Suggested Sett | Suitable Projects |
|---|---|---|
| Thin Linen Warp | 18–24 epi | towels, table linens, scarves |
| Thick Linen Warp | 12–16 epi | runners, heavier fabrics |
Plain weave structures often require a slightly lower sett, while twills and denser fabrics may benefit from a higher sett.

| Use | Warp yarn for weaving |
• Linen warps often benefit from light moisture while weaving
• Maintain consistent tension when dressing the loom
• Sample to determine the ideal sett and finishing method
Wet finishing is recommended. Linen softens and develops its characteristic drape after washing and pressing while retaining its natural strength.
Cró is a strong, architectural cord made from pure wool spun around a natural jute core.
This construction creates exceptional durability whilst maintaining flexibility, allowing the cord to move naturally in weaving and structural textile work. The wool exterior provides warmth, softness, and grip, whilst the jute core creates stability and strength.
Spun in a beautiful finger-thick structure, Cró is ideal for carpets, seating, poufs and sculptural fibre work. Despite its substantial presence, it is remarkably efficient — requiring relatively little material to cover large surfaces.
Finished textiles are durable, stable, and suitable for everyday use, including vacuum cleaning.
Cró reflects a tradition of structural fibre construction, combining natural materials to create functional, long-lasting textiles.

The jute core provides dimensional stability and strength, whilst the wool exterior offers flexibility, grip, and resilience.
This balance allows durable textile construction whilst maintaining a tactile, natural surface.
Natural – Undyed wool wrapped around a natural jute core
Black – Dyed black wool wrapped around a natural jute core
Black wool is dyed, as naturally black wool is not available in sufficient quantities for this construction.
Vacuum regularly
Spot clean if required
Hand wash gently only when necessary
Dry flat
Natural colourways may show subtle variation reflecting the natural fibre.
Black colourways are dyed for colour consistency.
