Genuine 100% flax linen thread (weight Tex 20x3) is a bit thicker than ordinary general-purpose thread but is finer and softer than unbleached thread. It is good for hand and machine sewing of medium-coarse materials. For machine sewing use a no. 90/14 to 100/16 needle. Machine sewing with linen thread is not something we recommend for novices.

Linen thread can be laundered at 60°C and ironed on high. When caring for garments sewn with linen thread, follow care guidelines for the fabric used.
