| I suspect that the relationship to linen yarn comes by way of thinking about קוה QWH as a form of קו QAW (related, methinks, to גב GAB, 'high'), 'line', as in 1Ki. 7:23. A line is but a long piece of linen, a lint, from the latin linum, 'flax', or lana, 'wool'. A soft string tautly stretched between two points makes a straight (namely, extending continuously in the same direction without curving) line.
