I very much like the
"I very much like the linen thread. It is exactly what I need for my project."
I am using this yarn
"I am using this yarn as warp and weft in towels (hand and dish). I have to say this yarn wove up quite easily and after a trip through my washer and dryer, I am beyond happy with the results. The towels are much more absorbent than 8/2 cotton and set at 20 epi and ppi for Huck Lace, the hand and density are perfect. About 10% shrinkage after washing and drying."
Impressive range of colors
"I was truly impressed with the quality and range of colors available in the Bocken's line of linen yarns. I can't wait to use more of them in my work."
It is always hard ordering

I was rather disappointed in
"I was rather disappointed in this Bockens linen yarn because of all the knots . I tried to remove the more obvious ones during the warping process but there were still many left n the warp on the loom. I was weaving a fabric with an open sett and repairing these knots really impacted the result. I would not order this yarn again."
Backend linen is so nice.
"Backend linen is so nice. The order came quickly."
