Introduction:
Welcome to Fabworks’ House Linen: a collection of carefully curated colours, created from a base cloth of linen and cotton.
Initially sourced as deadstock overruns, we rescued this fabric that had a light washed colour, which meant that it would be perfect to overdye. Now rejuvenated and repurposed into some of our favourite shades, the House Linen collection features a range of hand-picked hues that sit together in a paint box-like palette. Voilà!

Colour:
Pebble Grey is one of those subtle grey hues that almost has a warm undertone. This perfect grey colour is often seen in nature, from the pebbles of the Jurrasic coast and the silver moon to the feathers of common garden birds- Doves, Coal Tits and Long-Tailed Tits.
Sit this versatile grey alongside lilac and purple for soft easy-on-the-eye combinations. Grey is an excellent hue for grounding bright and punchy colours try this with Tiger Lily Orange - the combination is superb! Pebble Grey will sit with any of the colours from the House Linen Oxfords for creative sewing and super chic styles!

Background:
Now in its fifth generation, the family behind Fabworks has been working with 'textile waste' for over 100 years, whether that be in reclaimed textiles, cleaning rags & wipers, shoddy, loose fibres, or second-hand clothing. Fast forward to the 21st century, where fabric and sewing notions are the company’s main focus, we now find ourselves breaking new ground with a bespoke selection of fabrics that we have dyed in the UK.
