Colour:
Shades: This wonderful artisan basket‑weave linen features a combination of superfine silken white grouped warp yarns and heavier‑gauge grouped yarns of shimmering silver grey to form the characteristic under‑and‑over rectangular basket formation. The yarn‑dyed nature of the silver grey yarns creates a horizontal striated effect with multi‑toned greys.
Design: A clever basket‑weave linen fabric, woven in a grouped formation which sees the warp yarns separated into the classic under‑and‑over formation of alternating warp and weft.
Overall: A classic and timeless palette in a just‑as‑sophisticated weave and fibre.
Properties:
Texture: This basket-weave linen has a fine, complex weave that produces excellent visual and textural detail.
Handle: A malleable and springy hand that is stable along the length and width, due to its open weave.
Drape: A soft and flowy drape quality when used at length.

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.
