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.

Timothy Y. ★★★★★

The slubs give it such a nice rustic texture, and it pressed into a crisp apron after the first pre-wash. I lost closer to 8% in length, so buy extra yardage if you're cutting something fitted.

Ryan D. ★★★★★

I washed it once before sewing and the 6-8% shrinkage was spot on, so my measurements still worked out. The slubs give it that earthy, handwoven look I wanted for curtains, and it softened up nicely while keeping its body.

Penelope ★★★★★

Started stiff and papery right out of the bag, which is exactly what I wanted for curtains since it holds a crease beautifully. After one wash it softened up and shrank maybe 7%, so I'd suggest buying a bit extra before cutting. The 215 gsm weight feels substantial without being stiff to sew.
