It was fantastic to have linen yarn expert Fabrice Watremet, from certified Masters of Linen Linificio visit the Weaving Workshop on 23 October 2025 to discuss weaving, linen and flax supply in Europe. We were delighted that Fabrice could share his expertise on yarn, and intrigued to hear about the impact of the changing environment on the growth and supply of flax.
We were able to share our work with him. On our looms, we use Linificio yarn, with Nm 19.5 on our warp at 32 ends per cm, and Nm 26 on our weft. We continually work to enhance the fineness of our linen damask.
