A specialist in linen yarn, Safilin embodies a unique textile expertise built on the mastery of a noble and sustainable material: linen, an exceptional plant fibre. Recognized as Master of Linen, Safilin is rooted in a demanding industrial tradition where the selection of linen fibres, process precision, and production consistency form the foundation of its know-how.
As a plant fibre with outstanding properties, linen is valued for its strength, durability, and natural performance. Transforming linen fibre into linen yarn requires advanced technical expertise, combining deep material knowledge, process control, and rigorous quality standards.
Across its full range, Safilin develops yarns suited to a wide variety of textile applications. Whether produced from long fibres, tow, or hackled tow, every linen yarn reflects a constant commitment: performance, regularity, and industrial reliability.
WARP & WEFT
Safilin yarns designed for woven applications stand out for their remarkable mechanical strength. This performance results from a meticulous selection of linen fibres, combined with highly controlled spinning processes ensuring yarn cohesion and durability.
In weaving operations, warp yarns are subject to the highest levels of stress, including tension, friction, and repeated mechanical strain. Thanks to its structural stability and production consistency, Safilin linen yarn is widely recognized for its excellent warp performance.
Raw material mastery, combined with process excellence, allows Safilin to deliver yarns capable of meeting the most demanding industrial requirements. Strength, stability, and weaving reliability make Safilin yarns a benchmark for woven structures.
We offer linen threads ranging from 1.5 nm to 50 nm. For further information, please contact our sales department.
KNIT
Performance in knitting primarily depends on yarn regularity. Safilin yarns provide exceptional uniformity, a key factor in achieving stable knitted structures and high-quality fabric appearance.
Consistent spinning parameters ensure optimal knitability, enabling the production of a wide variety of constructions. Safilin yarns are suitable for both simple knits and more complex structures, such as fleece fabrics.
The combination of regularity, strength, and stable processing behaviour gives Safilin yarns outstanding versatility in knitting applications.
We offer linen threads ranging from 6 nm to 50 nm. For further information, please contact our sales department.
BLENDED YARNS
Safilin also develops innovative blended yarns, including LGAMILYS and LPOLYESTER, incorporating a slight addition of synthetic fibres to enhance specific performance characteristics.
These yarns are distinguished by an intimate fibre blend, achieved through a dedicated dry spinning process. This technology allows the natural properties of linen to be combined with improved functional performance.
Once woven, these yarns offer significant advantages:
enhanced abrasion resistance, improved durability, and a distinctive heathered effect, highly valued for its visual appeal. These technical solutions represent a unique offering on the market, balancing performance and aesthetics.
We offer various types of blended yarns as well as different counts. For more information, please contact our sales department.
LINEN YARN INNOVATION
Innovation is a central pillar of Safilin’s development strategy. Leveraging its expertise in linen yarn and plant fibre processing, Safilin supports its partners in creating tailor-made solutions.
From developing new yarn counts to adjusting mechanical properties and optimizing processing behaviour, Safilin places its technical know-how at the service of demanding projects.
This ability to design customized linen yarns, adapted to specific application constraints, illustrates Safilin’s ongoing commitment to innovation, research, and industrial performance.
