Linen Warp Yarn | Flax Weaving Yarn | Thin & Thick Warp Cones
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.
Available 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 |
Suggested Warp Sett (EPI)
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.

Working Tips
• 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
Care
Wet finishing is recommended. Linen softens and develops its characteristic drape after washing and pressing while retaining its natural strength.
