20/2 Line Linen | Bockens

If you’re looking for a linen yarn that weaves with precision and finishes beautifully, Bockens 20/2 Line Linen is a standout choice. Made from long-line flax and spun in Sweden with meticulous consistency, this fine linen offers exceptional strength, lustre, and smoothness. It's perfect for delicate yet durable handwoven textiles.

The firm, even twist delivers crisp pattern definition and clean sheds, making it ideal for complex weaving. The yarn has a natural sheen, and its transformation during wet-finishing is remarkable: the cloth softens, gains fluidity, and develops that unmistakable linen glow.
