I have finished the most beautiful garment-a suite for myself from Euroflax sport weight in french blue using #2 needles. I have heard from several people that it is difficult to knit due to yarn does not give. I did not have any problem with the yarn, and even if I had, the end product would have worth the difficulties. I knitted the skirt from the Interweave Knits, Spring 2007. The pattern name is "Indigo Ripples Skirt". I created the matching top myself. The look is so polished and almost etherial, it creates a "Wow!" effect wherever I go. I had even stranger man complimenting on my outfit! It is good enough to go to a classy dinner or a day wedding, and the linen feels so great in a summer! I am in love with the yarn. It took 6 scanes to create my suite, but it is worth every penny!

This linen feels more like twine. it is quite stiff and hard to knit with. I can't use it for the sweater I was thinking of because it feels like mesh when it is knit up. It might be useful for craft projects or accessories.

I purchased Euroflax at a price lower than any other source. Since I have received such excellent service in the past, I would naturally come to WEBS first, and was pleasantly surprised to see a sale on the yarn I wanted. I ordered two colours, received one within a week and was notified the other was out of stock but would be back-ordered at the same price. I didn't have to chase anyone down for it -- it arrived this week.
Lowest price, great service, quick response time -- it doesn't get any better than that.

I have used this yarn for 2 summer scarves/wraps that I love. I knew what to expect with linen so I wasn't bothered by the stiffness of the working yarn. My hands did ache a bit but it's worth it. The magic happens once it's washed and dried. It softens up beautifully. The colors are vibrant and it feels cool against the skin. I recommend making a swatch, then washing/drying it before making any garment that requires specific measurements. This is a premium example of 100% linen that sets the standard for all the rest.

I've used this yarn freguently and it is definitely the very best linen available, perfect for three season wear. It's very hard on the hands to knit with because it has no natural stretch (although the knitted garment will have stretch), but the finished product is always worth it. Knitted linen can be machine washed and dried and just gets softer (dry it flat to crisp it up) and it doesn't wrinkle, ever! Euroflax has a lovely sheen and its long fiber construction makes it really durable. Its especially nice for lace projects. My recent purchase of 8 skeins for a fall sweater was a biig leap, but I know I will love it

- Few to no knots
- Strong does not break
Cons
- Yarn is stiff at first
Best Uses
- Anything drapey
- Scarf
- Skirts
Our knitting group has turned out several lacey ruffled skirts using this linen yarn. The skirts ripple in a lovely way as the ladies move about.
Following the pattern advice, I used Louet linen for a sleeveless top. The gauge agreed with the pattern, however the top is see through and requires a camisole or a more daring wearer than myself. I like it a lot and recommend it to anyone.
Mr. Hyde because the yarn feels wiry at first, but softens remarkably, (Dr, Jekyll) as it is washed and used.
Pros
- Great Colors
- Washable and dryable
Cons
- PRICEY if not on sale
Best Uses
- ANYTHING EVERYTHING
As above, it is washable and dry able and available in beautiful colors.
It can be a little pricey if not offered on sale

Best Uses
I love the way this linen softens up as you knit and wash and dry it. Makes beautiful scarves, wraps and summer tops
I have knit two items with this yarn: a baby blanket in a feather and fan pattern and a sweater with lace trim. The sweater is stunning. The baby blanket wore like iron. This yarn is not easy to use, and should not be used by beginners. I am a continental knitter, and had some problems holding the yarn. Eventually, I got the hang of it. The finished products were worth the effort.
