Euroflax - Sport
Euroflax is a long line, wet-spun linen yarn.
It is called long line because the plant itself grows more than a yard tall. When standing in the field, it is a beautiful sight; bright blue flowers waving in the wind. All of LoftyFiber flax is grown (and processed) in Belgium, which touts a damp ocean climate and rich soil that grows the finest linen in the world.
The term wet-spun refers to the process of using heat, humidity, and water during the spinning process, which creates a smooth yarn; in contrast to the the dry spun process which produces a rougher, more uneven yarn.
