Linen tops mix – sustainable creativity.
Rehab breathes new life into quality fibers and yarns, transforming scraps and leftovers into sustainable, creative materials ready to inspire your craft projects.
Linen tops mixes are composed of selected fibers from our own production, often derived from tops processing waste or stock. This approach not only helps reduce waste but also provides an opportunity to explore new creative and sustainable combinations. And that is why these materials are part of our DHG Rehab selection because they are fibers that are given a second life but have the high quality and characteristics of fibers in the collection and are perfect for felting, weaving, and hand spinning.
Buying these materials means making a sustainable choice, but you should also be aware that these packages have some limitations since the colors available vary according to production and the color assortment is limited nor is it possible to select color combinations within the package. However, we guarantee you that there are at least 2 different color shades inside.
Availability and packaging
This item is available in 500 g. Each package has a natural tolerance of ±3%.
For non-ECE shipments, packages are vacuum-packed, reducing volume and lowering shipping costs. Don’t worry: once opened, the fiber returns to its original volume, as soft and fluffy as freshly processed, with no loss of quality.

Ribbon weight: about 20 g/m - 0.7 oz/yd
Flax fiber is a Liberian fiber composed mainly of cellulose, extracted from the inner bark of the plant's stem. It has long, stiff and slightly irregular fibers characterized by a polygonal cross-section and natural knots that contribute to the typical texture of the material. Its structure imparts high tensile strength, low elasticity and a cool, dry hand, making it ideal for processing that requires stability and definition.
Flax is one of the oldest textile fibers used by humans and is grown primarily in Europe, with a strong tradition in northern European and Franco-Belgian regions, as well as in other temperate climate zones. The flax plant grows in short, sustainable cycles, and the fiber is obtained through natural processes of retting, scutching, and combing that separate the long fibers from the woody part of the stem, preserving their structural qualities and purity.
The dyes used for our products meet the requirements of the OEKO-TEX standard, which guarantees the control and limitation of substances potentially harmful to human health and the environment.
The dyeing of fibers is carried out in our dyehouse in Italy, in compliance with current European regulations on chemical substances and environmental safety, including the REACH Regulation (EC No. 1907/2006), which governs the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemical substances.
Operating within the European Union also entails compliance with additional provisions on environmental protection and textile product safety, such as the CLP Regulation (EC No. 1272/2008), relating to the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures. This regulatory framework ensures that dyeing processes are conducted according to high standards of safety, traceability and environmental responsibility, offering a reliable product for both the end user and the environment.
Our linen tops are perfect for theneedle felting, forwater felting, for spinning, the hand weaving.
Since colors may vary depending on your monitor or device settings, we recommend purchasing our Color Card to check the shades in person before placing your final order. Want to check the quality of the material? Choose our Sample Box.
CAUTION: All of our colors generally exhibit high lightfastness and wash fastness. However, fluorescent colors (80's collection), in addition to having a lower lightfastness, may also suffer significant color loss in the presence of alkaline or particularly aggressive soaps, as well as with prolonged processing or washing. This phenomenon can occur, to varying degrees, even with dark and particularly bright colors. For materials dyed with these shades, we always recommend that a preliminary processing and washing test be carried out on a small sample before making the final design. This precaution is essential, especially when dyed materials are combined with unbleached or light-colored fibers.
Finally, to best preserve the colors, it is recommended that artifacts not be dried in direct sunlight, but in a shady place.
