Fibra Natura's Flax is a 100% linen yarn, available in a wide range of solid shades. Its versatile color palette and construction make it perfect for both home decor and wearable garments.
As a linen product, Flax blooms and softens beautifully with each trip through the washing machine. Water dissolves pectin, the natural plant-based starch that binds flax fibers together. Repeated washing over time breaks down these bonds and allows the tough, crystalline fibers to relax and drape beautifully. This all happens naturally with just water - skip the liquid fabric softeners and dryer sheets! Tumble dry with wool dryer balls for even more softening.

Please note: Certain colors may bleed, especially dark colors and vibrant ones. Always make a test swatch and block it, if you’re concerned about color bleeding. To help reduce bleeding, block with cold water, use color catching sheets in the water, only use one color, or stay away from high-contrast colorwork.
