Storai · Linen 8/36 · 450m/100g (492yds/3.5oz) · 100% Linen (Li)

Linen 8/36 by Storai is pure linen at its most direct — a clean, even fingering-weight thread with the honest character that only natural linen can deliver. Crisp in hand, breathable in wear, and with a subtle natural luster that deepens and softens as the fabric settles with use, this is a yarn for those who appreciate fiber that improves over time.

Linen is one of the oldest and most enduring textile fibers — strong, naturally antibacterial, exceptionally breathable, and with a cool, smooth hand that makes it the definitive choice for warm-weather knitting. Linen 8/36 brings all of these qualities in a refined, consistent thread that knits cleanly and behaves predictably across a wide range of stitch patterns and garment types.

Linen 8/36 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as a companion thread, adding linen's natural structure and breathable freshness to any combination.

Versatile Use

At 450m/100g, Linen 8/36 works in 1 or 2 strands for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Ideal for summer tops, lightweight cardigans, shawls, and warm-weather garments where natural fiber quality and breathability define the design.

Care Instructions

Machine wash gentle cycle at 30°C or hand wash in cool water

Use a mild detergent suitable for linen

Lay flat to dry or hang to dry

Do not wring or twist

Iron at medium to high temperature — linen responds well to heat and pressing

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Linen softens and relaxes after washing, altering both drape and gauge. The fiber also blooms slightly with use, becoming progressively softer over time. Accurate swatching ensures proper fit and yardage estimates.
