Specifications:
Weight: Light
GSM: 104
Composition: 100% Linen
Width: 138cm / 54.3inch
Colour:
Shades: This open, gauze‑like, artisanal basket‑weave linen features crisp yet lustrous yarns in a pinkish‑brown cedarwood hue across the warp, with deep mahogany‑toned yarns through the weft. Together they create interlocking rectangular micro‑blocks, redolent of softly polished fine and exotic woods used in ancient marquetry.
Design: A clever basket‑weave linen fabric, woven in a grouped formation that sees the warp yarns separated into the classic over‑and‑under arrangement of alternating warp and weft.
Overall: A classic and timeless palette in an equally sophisticated weave and fibre.
Properties:
Texture: This basket‑weave linen has a fine, complex structure that produces excellent visual and textural detail. Its crisp, lightly starched feel is expected to soften with wash and wear. We recommend testing on sample pieces first.
Handle: A malleable and springy hand that remains stable along the length and width, owing to its open weave.
Drape: A soft and flowy drape quality when used at length.
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 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 with a two‑tone turn‑back.
Furnishings: This fabric would be lovely used as rustic throws around a country‑style cottage.
Upcycling: Use in scenic craft projects or repurpose 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.
