Properties:
Linen has been used for centuries because of its beneficial properties; cool and breathable, gets 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. (approx 4%). The addition of viscose produces a softer hand with a subtle silken sheen. The expertly woven yarns sit together throughout the warp and weft in classic cool linen and silken viscose yarns and create this superb closely woven twill weave plaid
