Linen sweaters feel cool in the summer, due to the yarn's breathing capability. They are wonderful to wear and are machine washable. With wearing and washing, linen sweaters made out of our Euroflax yarn will become very soft, with a beautiful, lustrous silky effect. After you have made one sweater out of Euroflax, you will definitely want to make another one.

Tips for Knitting with Euroflax Linen

• Most importantly, you must wash and dry all samples before measuring gauge. The knitted fabric relaxes after the first time it has been washed.
  
• Due to the nature of this yarn, it is not suitable for standard ribbing, on either bottom borders or neckbands.
  
• Knit-in hems, rolled borders and garter stitch borders all work wonderfully with this yarn.
  
• This yarn is more suitable for pattern knitting than for plain knits. Small areas of plain knitting are fine, though.
  
• Please pay special attention to the recommended needle size given for each yarn. Larger needles should be used only for lacy patterns.
