Unwashed Martini Olive Linen Fabric 215 g/sq.m

Those natural slubs give it such an earthy, textured look that I ended up leaving it unwashed to keep that crisp feel. It's surprisingly hefty at 215 gsm, so it hangs nicely for the curtains I'm making. Just remember it'll shrink 6-8% once you finally wash it.

I pre-washed this before sewing and it shrank right around the 7% mark, so the 6-8% estimate was spot on. The slubs give it a really natural, earthy texture that plain linen just doesn't have. It started out crisp but softened up beautifully after the first wash.

The olive color is that perfect muddy green that doesn't look fake, and the slubs give it real texture. I pre-washed it and it shrank about 7%, which I expected, and now it's softened up nicely for curtains.
