Thanks to the excellent properties of the flax fiber, linen clots are warrant comfortable wear. We are using dew retted or water retted flax fiber, or on demand intimate blends with synthetic fibers.  Linen yarns and threads are made by classical wet spinning or semi wet (half wet) spinning process.  Multiform finishing brings large variety of color and technical characteristic. The color can be raw (natural linen color) bleached (1/8 white,1/4 white, ½ white,  or optical white), boiled or dyed.  More than 30 variations can be presented from one count number. We are producing yarn with both “Z” and “S” twist.

Main applications are:

• Weaving – used for warp and weft in  household, decoration, technical textile or garment sector
• Technical threads for sewing,  braiding, webbing
• Plied yarn for  carpets and rugs

  Linen-Modal and Linen-Tencel blended yarn
  
  In cooperation with Lenzing AG we developed  new blends  like 33 % Modal – 67 % linen and  33 % Tencel – 67 % linen  weaving  yarns.  Tencel blends use A-100 fiber
  These blended yarns are  produced on tradiotional ring spinning system,  wet spun,
  -    raw,
  -    pre- bleached on rove
  -    pre –boiled on rove.
  Following samples are avaible:
  
  33 % Tencel 67 % Linen – Bleached and boiled, yarn count:

  Nm 20    2F  - boiled      
  Nm 24    2F  - boiled       
  Nm 33    2F  - boiled      
  Nm 20    F3 – bleached      
  Nm 24    F3 – bleached       
  Nm 33    F3 – bleached     
  
   33 % Modal 67 % Linen – Bleached and boiled, yarn count:
   
  Nm 20    2F  - boiled      
  Nm 24    2F  - boiled       
  Nm 33    2F  - boiled      
  Nm 20    F3 – bleached      
  Nm 24    F3 – bleached       
  Nm 33    F3 – bleached     
  
  33 % Modal 67 % Linen – natural, raw , yarn count:
   
  Nm 15          
  Nm 12          
  Nm 9,6          
  Nm 10         
  
  The Modal or Tencel blended yarns comparing with 100 % linen have a softer touch,  shiny,  less irregulaty, the number of thin and thick places and neps decreased..
  Elongation of 100 % linen yarn is under 2 %,  the blends have a higher elongation, a better weaving performance expected.
  Tencel recomended for fabrics,  keeping linen natural color   and linen charakter,   Modal recomended for bleached or dyed fabric, mercerized finish.
