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:

A soft, greyish green the colour of dried thyme that is both a good stand-alone and a wonderful ‘goes with’ the Cranberry Sauce and Purple Prose.

Piece-dyed from a fabric that was made up originally of light turquoise & white yarns, the finished result of Past Thymes features subtle undertones of its predecessor. Look closely at this fabric for a gentle added depth of colour, with touches of green hues throughout. Subtle yet sophisticated, this autumnal palette is soft in handle and rich in colour.

Properties:

The Oxford Linens have been created through dyeing and finishing a fine Oxford woven linen (42%) & cotton (58%) blend fabric. Due to its textural weave detail (akin to a Panama or Hopsack)

These cosy but not cloying, cool and breathable fabric is stable yet drapey, and features a super soft handle that is simply sublime, perfect for a multitude of garments.

One of the many benefits that the House Linen offers is that it will wash and wear forever, only improving with age due to the hard-wearing properties of its natural fibres: cotton and linen.

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.

Disappointed

Did not like this fabric, the colour had mix of green and yellow had a look of a faulty fabric

Great quality

Colour more true to life in second photo, more mossy green IRL. Great quality, as always from Fabworks. I will be using this as a summer weight skirt. The colour isn't flat, it has a very subtle depth due to different colour warp & weft threads (only noticeable at extremely close range). Nice!!
