Colour:
Shades: This unsuspecting (natural in all its qualities) fabric boasts a closely woven basket‑style weave created from heavier‑gauge yarns and piece‑dyed to a gentle washed grey‑green, redolent of softly ground dried sage leaves.
Design: The twisted nature of the yarn produces an almost rippled effect to the basket weave, akin to the knitted effect of moss stitch.
Overall: This pleasing weave is lightly textured and has a wholesome look and style. Perfect for outdoor/nature lovers and casual, utility styles.
Properties:
Texture: This soft wash, basket weave has a fine, complex weave that produces excellent visual and textural detail.
Handle: A malleable and springy hand with structure along the length and width, and a generous bias ease.
Drape: A soft and flowy drape quality, this fabric doesn't boast the classic crisp characteristics expected with this composition.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: This fabric is the perfect weight for semi-structured separates and stand-alone garments. It will drape, tuck and gather, forming areas of fullness and body. Perfect for creating voluminous sleeves and skirts.
Create unique shirts and blouses, shirtdresses, tunics and the most elegant and wearable dresses you will return to season after season.
Patterns: Consider patterns such as the Cordelia Trousers, Elodie Dress, Charlie Caftan, Naia Pants, Shepherd Skirt, Factory Dress and Florence.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Create matching slouchy shoulder bags and headwear to finish off the look.
Furnishings: This fabric would be lovely used as rustic throws around a country-style cottage.
Upcycling: Use to imitate moss in scenic craft projects or use scraps as rustic parcel ribbons.
Rustic Texture, Cool Comfort, Everyday Ease
Linen is a natural fibre fabric perfect for summer, being cool, breathable and becoming softer and more relaxed with every wear and wash, whilst also being extremely durable and very versatile. Whether you choose it for carefree holiday outfits or shape, pleat and press it into crisp work wear, linen should be a go-to for home sewists. It has a texture and drape that gives that easy lived‑in, cool, relaxed feel, while still being able to press into something crisp when you want a cleaner look.
Its signature slubs and gentle texture lend every piece a pleasantly rustic, artisan style, perfect for floaty dresses, crisp shirts, relaxed trousers and everyday wardrobe favourites.
Linen is as much a pleasure to sew as to wear, having a stable weave that works for floaty casual dresses, wide-legged trousers or crisp office shirts and If you love natural fabrics, linen is for you.
