No, it does not itch. At first, its texture is slightly firmer than cotton, but it becomes softer with every wash. In addition, at Garmon Yarns we always work with it blended with cotton, which softens the feel and makes it pleasant even for garments worn directly against the skin.

Linen Yarn for Making Fresh Summer Garments
Linen yarn for summer is a cool, lightweight and highly breathable plant-based fibre, ideal for making spring and summer garments. Sometimes searched for as linen wool, at Garmon Yarns you will always find it blended with cotton or viscose, which softens its feel and improves its drape without losing the natural freshness of linen.
It is perfect for tops, T-shirts, blouses, shawls and lightweight accessories, in fine weights and 50-gram balls. If you want to compare fibres, you can view the rest of the yarn compositions in our catalogue.
Is linen yarn suitable for crochet or ganchillo?
Yes. It works very well: its blend with cotton gives it body and stitch definition, ideal for projects such as tops, bags, baskets or coasters. It is also a good linen yarn for knitting with two needles, with a fresh result and a pleasant feel.
As a linen yarn for crochet, each ball of linen defines the stitch well and provides a natural finish. We always recommend making a swatch first, because linen has little elasticity and it is best to adjust your tension.
Linen and Cotton Blends: the softest version of linen
Linen and cotton yarn combines the best of both fibres: the coolness and strength of linen with the softness of cotton. That is why it does not itch and is easier to work with than 100% linen, while maintaining its natural look and good drape in every garment.
In this category, we bring together linen blends with cotton and, in some cases, viscose. If you are looking for that fibre in its pure form, you can also view our cotton yarns, one of the most versatile bases for knitting.
