Unwashed fabric. Shrinkage approximately 6-8%.

A classic versatile linen fabric in with naturally occurring slubs. This plain-woven linen fabric has an earthy and natural feel, starts crisp, and gets softer with every washing over time. Great thick linen fabric for homeware projects such as aprons, tea towels, cushions, and soft furnishings or clothing like jackets, pants, tunics, and skirts.

We recommend ordering a linen swatch before purchasing, as each piece is cut to order and therefore non-returnable unless faulty.

Composition: 100% linen
Weight: 215 g/sq.m
Width unwashed: approximately 150 cm
Width washed: approximately 140cm

Soak first and wash separately at 60 degrees to shrink the fabric. Then wash separately at 40 degrees.

Olivia ★★★★★

I washed it before cutting and it shrank about 7%, exactly in the range they stated, so no surprises there. The slubs give it that earthy texture I was after, and it softened up nicely after the first wash. Made curtains for my living room and they hang beautifully.

Samuel ★★★★☆

First time sewing with linen this heavy and it pressed beautifully into crisp seams, though it did shed a fair amount of lint while cutting. The slubs give it a nice rustic texture. Just remember to prewash — mine shrank a solid 7% and I'm glad I tested a scrap first.

John B. ★★★★☆

The slubs give it a really natural, earthy look and it pressed beautifully for the curtains I made. Just know it shrank a solid 7% after the first wash, so buy a bit extra. Crisp out of the package and softening up nicely with each wash.
