Do you mean a weaver's knot? There is no way that you will be able to wind 30m of 40/2 linen onto one bobbin, you will have to have joins. IMO knots show less in thick threads and doubled threads show less in finer threads, especially in PG where there are lots of twists, though if the linen is a bit slubby you might be able to work it so that you have two thin sections running double where you change bobbins. Try to get the joins in cloth stitch areas or at the footdge where they will be least noticeable.
