Overview:

If you are searching for a fabric that has the classic slubby appearance of linen but the supple, malleable hand of viscose, this collection of Linen-Look Stretch Viscose is for you. This lightweight viscose and elastane fabric range offers an easy balance of elegance and versatility. Woven from fine, subtly lustrous yarns, it features soft slubs and striations that echo the look of linen while remaining fluid, breathable and comfortable to wear. With gentle stretch for flexibility and a naturally drapey feel, it is ideal for flowing garments, soft gathers and refined fitted details.

Colour:

Shades: Savoy Blue is a beautifully rich and jewel-hued blue redolent of ultramarine, prized by the old master painters and created from ground lapis lazuli. 

Design: The flat weave showcases fine, semi‑lustrous yarns with subtle slubs and striations, creating the appearance of fine linen.

Overall: Savoy Blue is the national colour of Italy, named after their ancient House of Savoy and its heraldic colour. This is Azzuri - deep, intense and mesmerising.

Linen-Look Stretch Viscose

Properties:

Texture: This breathable, plant‑fibre fabric is soft and malleable, with the gentle, absorbent texture characteristic of viscose. Fine slubs create a pleasing, slightly grainy touch as you run your hand along the soft surface.

Handle: While it has the visual texture of linen, the handle is unmistakably viscose. Expect a superbly supple and malleable hand. The opposite of what you would expect from its linen-look design.

Drape: The fabric has a beautiful, soft and flowing drape. The addition of elastane provides approximately 40% retentive widthwise stretch (with no lengthwise stretch), making it well-suited to garments with a comfortable and relaxed style and slim fit. The fabric is semi‑translucent when held to the light.

Sewing Suggestions for Lightweight Stretch Viscose Fabrics

Garment Suggestions

Lightweight stretch viscose is perfect for floaty summer garments with beautiful movement and drape. Where Linen is suited to crisp cuffs, collars and pleats, this fabric is its opposite, working best with relaxed and swaying styles that use the stretch along the width to provide maximum comfort and harmony with the body. It will fall softly away from the body, making it ideal for relaxed silhouettes, gentle gathers and elegant flared shapes. The added stretch offers comfort and ease, particularly for styles with closer‑fitting bodices, sleeves or waistlines. 

Use it to create easy‑wear dresses, flowing skirts, relaxed blouses and comfortable trousers. Mix and match colours within the range for striking colour‑blocking designs. Depending on your choice of pattern, this fabric can create an elegantly swishy or easy, slouchy style.

Patterns: Look for sewing patterns designed for lightweight fabrics with drape and stretch. Styles with gathered details, elasticated waists, wrap elements or softly shaped seams work especially well and really let the fabric shine.

Other Uses
  • Accessories: This fabric is lovely for coordinating accessories such as headscarves, fabric bows, scrunchies or lightweight summer scarves.
  • Furnishings: Its fluid drape makes it suitable for soft, airy window dressings where a relaxed, breezy feel is desired.
  • Upcycling: Smaller pieces are perfect for appliqué, patchwork accents or adding texture to creative projects, helping you make the most of every last scrap.

What is Viscose?

Viscose is a beautifully soft, breathable fabric made from regenerated cellulose fibres (the same base fibre as cotton). Known for its fluid drape and natural feel, it offers the comfort of cotton with a more elegant, silk‑like movement. Lightweight, versatile, and effortlessly wearable, viscose is a favourite for everyday pieces that feel polished yet relaxed.

Key Benefits

  • Soft, smooth handle
  • Elegant, fluid drape
  • Breathable and cool against skin
  • Highly absorbent for all‑day comfort
  • Takes colour exceptionally well
  • Versatile across dresses, blouses and relaxed tailoring

Care Guide

Viscose is naturally absorbent and becomes more delicate when wet, so gentle handling is key. Wash on a cool cycle, reshape while damp, and allow it to dry flat or on a hanger. Steam to remove creases and avoid hot washes or vigorous wringing to maintain its shape and softness.
