Baltic Linen offers top quality linen yarn from European flax in a wide variety of colors on spools from 1 lb. to 2.5 lbs. and skeins of 100g. Spun in Eastern Europe, our stock is always changing, but a supply is readily on hand at the Mill if we run low, and we receive deliveries on a monthly basis, so plan your project, and we will have your linen yarn in a week or two, if not in stock. Small cones are available but the weight can vary from 5- 12 ounces in the 3X 56 Tex.   Single ply,  2xply, are sold only by the large cones approximately 1 – 1.5 kg.     3 Ply is the most common as a lace weight for knitters or crochet. Single ply is used for very fine weaving. We will send yard yarn samples for free, but we ask you to cover postage costs.
