Euroflax Linen, derived from the cellulose-based fibre of the flax plant, is a beautiful and versatile yarn. Because linen is one of the strongest natural fibres, garments knit with Euroflax actually improve over time, increasing in sheen, softness and drape the more they are washed, worn and handled.  Since linen can be knit or crocheted at a wide range of gauges, the possibilities for patterns are limitless.  Here are a few ideas . . .
