This is the ideal yarn for rug warps. Linen is considered to be more environmentally friendly than cotton as it uses significantly less water in its manufacture. It is high quality, strong, very long lasting and has the following specs:

Yarn weight: 8/5

Length per cone: 450 mt

Weight per cone: 500gms

It has been manufactured in Sweden by Holma-Helsinglands AB.

I would recommend a sett of about 4 ends per inch for the weaving of floor rugs.
