Specifications:
Weight: Light
GSM: 128
Composition: 100% Linen
Width: 146cm / 57.4inch
Colour:
Shades: This finely woven shirt‑weight fabric features superfine white yarns on the warp and baby‑blue yarns on the weft, creating a birds‑eye/dobby weave.
Design: The clever micro‑dobby weave is presented as an all‑over repeating pattern of a grid‑like layout of rounded spot details akin to birds’ eyes, surrounded by contrasting lustrous yarns that create visual interest. The micro‑dot detail elevates this classic shirt‑weight linen.
Overall: Perfect for clear summer‑sky days. Blue of this particular tone is a very complementary hue for most skin tones and always looks fresh and crisp.
Properties:
Texture: Woven closely in superfine yarns for the classic, fine, washed shirt‑weight feel of linen. A soft surface texture is created by the dobby‑weave design.
Handle: A soft hand, yet crisp and structured. Stable in the width and length with a gentle bias ease.
Drape: A clean, classic linen drape, perfect for delicate gathers and pleats, as well as crisp shirt details, pleats, and tucks.
Garment Suggestions:
Patterns: Patterns such as the Factory Dress and the Florence Dress by Merchent & Mills, and the Elodie Dress and the Charlie Caftan are fabulous choices for this fabric. It also pairs especially well with patterns such as the Pattern Stash's Cordelia Trousers, Amelia Skirt and Lynsey Dungarees, as well as The Ilford Jacket for a stylish summer layer.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Make matching pieces such as headscarves, tote bags, or scrunchies.
Furnishings: Ideal for window drapes or cushions with embellishments.
Upcycling: Use your offcuts for lavender bags, table runners, and napkins, perfect for traditional crafts such as embroidery.
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.
