Introduction:

Made in Europe by a company of world renown, with centuries of expertise and tradition. 

Colour:

This overall mid-denim-look linen gets its pleasing blue hue from the use of a classic heavier gauge yarn sitting on the warp and the use of fine gauge true blue yarn throughout the weft, giving a pleasing multi-toned denim hue. 

Properties:

This pure linen fabric will be cool and breathable, get softer with washing & wear and linen is impervious to moths and resists dirt and stains. Linen will not form lint or pill and can be washed at high temperatures with only moderate shrinkage. The characteristic slubs (once viewed as a fault) are now part of the aesthetic appeal of quality linen fabric.

Lightly textured with characteristic linen slubs.

Stable and hardwearing.

Malleable and soft enough to produce gathers and pleats and tucks.

Slightly open weave with some translucence when held to the light.
