A versatile and durable 8/2 cotolin yarn, ideal for weaving everyday textiles. Combining the softness of cotton with the strength of linen, Maurice Brassard cotolin offers the perfect balance between comfort, absorbency and durability.

Description

This yarn is made of 60% cotton and 40% linen, a classic blend in weaving that produces fabrics that are both soft, absorbent and long-lasting.

Made in Québec by Maurice Brassard, this yarn is known for its consistency and reliability. It works well in both warp and weft, on shaft looms and rigid heddle looms.

The linen adds structure and strength, while the cotton provides softness and absorbency. After washing, the fabric softens while maintaining its structure, creating a natural, textured and refined finish.
