Linen is traditionally and most commonly used to make woven fabrics.
However, it is possible to knit using linen and some manufacturers do make knitted fabrics using linen. These fabrics are rather rare and hand knitting with linen is apparently tricky.

Woven fabric tends to have a fairly stable size, so you can measure it by length.
