Colour:

Shades: The base of this unique shimmer linen boasts a natural light flax beige hue and is printed with colours of shimmering gold, copper, pink, purple, blue and green.

Design: This printed, closely woven flat‑weave, flax‑hued linen will captivate you with its shimmering, yet not at all flashy, finish, redolent of the almost undulating swirls of colour of the Aurora Borealis, but more akin to pearlescent nacre. As the fabric moves, the shimmering hues appear and retreat, also Borealis‑like!

Overall: Create conversation‑piece apparel with this delightful, slightly playful and very beautiful printed linen.

Properties:

Texture: Woven closely in superfine yarns for the classic, fine, washed shirt‑weight feel of linen.

Handle: A soft hand, yet crisp and structured. Stable in the width and length with a gentle bias ease.

Drape: A clean, classic linen drape, perfect for delicate gathers and pleats, as well as crisp shirt details, pleats and tucks.

Garment Suggestions:

Types: Ideal for gathering and tucking details, as well as forming crisp pleats and structured details. Try flowing, layered dresses or skirts, trousers or even casual shirts. The print does all the talking for this gorgeous fabric; keep the pattern simple and let it shine, or match the beautiful design with an equally elevated style.

Patterns: Patterns such as the Factory Dress and the Florence Dress by Merchent & Mills, and the Elodie Dress and the Charlie Caftan are fabulous choices for this fabric. It also pairs especially well with patterns such as the Pattern Stash's Cordelia Trousers, Amelia Skirt and Lynsey Dungarees, as well as The Ilford Jacket for a stylish summer layer.

Other Uses:

Accessories: Make matching pieces such as headscarves, tote bags, or scrunchies.

Furnishings: Window drapes or cushions with embellishments and trimmings.

Upcycling: Use your offcuts for lavender bags, table runners and napkins. Perfect for traditional crafts like embroidery.

Linen’s Natural Charm

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.
