Valley Yarns 20/2 Linen Yarn - Linen

I'm a long-time Webs customer. The shopping and shipping experience with this purchase was great, but sadly, the yarn itself is less than stellar. I've used Valley linen in heavier weights successfully in the past. However, this particular 20/2 linen has given me trouble. My biggest complaint is that I've had so many broken warp threads! This linen has thick and thin areas and lots of neps, which may contribute to variations in the tensile strength of this yarn. I don't have any crossed...

I used this as a weft yarn for some Inkle weaving and it performed great! No breaking. 😊😊

I've bought yarn from Webs, well over 40+ yrs, and just a couple weeks ago and will buy from them again. This yarn wonderful (unbleached) for towels along with tops, blankets etc. It warps up great on my 2 looms. (floor & ridged heddle). I mist the warp so I've never had any issues with it shredding or breaking, flax linen is stronger when damp/wet. It's also great for knitting and crocheting. Would I recommend it...yes!!

The linen yarn broke twice on a 3 yard warp. It seems to have weak spots.
