Why You'll Love NeL 50/4 Linen Thread
Linen offers something cotton and synthetics simply cannot match. As you work, it provides a satisfying, tactile resistance – holding the shape of each loop, moving predictably through your fingers, and never cutting into your skin during hand sewing. The finished result? A natural, understated sheen that deepens with every wash, and a strength that remains unchanged for decades.
NeL 50/4 is four-ply twisted from 100% premium linen. In bobbin lace making it behaves exactly as you'd expect a quality thread to – holding its position, following your intent precisely, and ensuring the finished lace retains its exact form for years to come. It performs equally well for hand sewing strong seams or attaching buttons to linen goods.
The manufacturer, Barkonie s.r.o., is an established Czech linen specialist. The thread undergoes a finishing process that softens the hand without sacrificing its characteristic strength – giving you the best of both worlds. A colour card featuring 94 shades is available to download with every spool: ranging from natural raw linen through warm earthy tones to rich colours suited to seasonal projects.
