Charcoal & Sand is a quality European Linen and cotton fabric, woven with classic charcoal black, fine yarns at its base (warp) and wonderfully silken, flax-sand hued yarns throughout the weft. The combination of yarns produces a semi-dark brown/black, where the classic fine diagonals of the twill appear in alternating sand and charcoal hues.
The finely woven twill weave is broken by a classic 1cm vertical pinstripe featured in the sand yarns. This clever weave has the look of denim with the relaxed qualities of linen, making it super versatile.
Properties:
Charcoal & Sand is a stable and tightly woven structure with a fine diagonal twill pattern. The light/medium-weight fabric is stable both widthwise and lengthwise, providing a crisp feel that softens beautifully with washing and wear. The woven vertical stripes create a slight ridged texture.
This high-quality linen blend is ideal for creating sharp pleats and tucks, making it perfect for structured garments. The fabric is both durable and hardwearing, making it suitable for the whole family.
Garment Suggestions:
This high-quality fabric is perfect for creating structured pieces that require sharp pleats and tucks. Ideal for semi-fitted wardrobe staples such as: wide-legged tailored trousers, matching sharply tailored blazers, shift dresses, pencil skirts, and so much more.
For a more relaxed style, use this fabric for utility, workwear, or bohemian-inspired designs. Patterns like The Cordelia Trousers or The Osborn Dungarees. Even put the selvedge to use!
Other Uses:
Complete your outfits with matching accessories, hats, caps etc. Add to your fabric stash as a basic staple and you will find uses around your home too, table covers, napkins, embroidery and so much more!

About Linen
Linen not only offers ‘cool chic’ looks, but also comfort, durability, and sustainability, and is an exceptional fabric to wear throughout spring and summer months. It comes in weights from super light and floaty, through ‘shirt crisp’ to softly draping skirt and trouser weight, which can even find a place in the seasonal transition wardrobe. Derived from the flax plant, linen is celebrated for its breathability and moisture-wicking properties, ensuring you stay cool and dry during warmer months. Its natural fibres allow for excellent air circulation, making garments feel light and comfortable even on the hottest days.
One of the standout features of linen is its durability. The fabric's inherent strength resists abrasion and pilling, ensuring that your garments maintain their beauty over time. Additionally, linen will soften with each wash, enhancing comfort without compromising its robust nature. This makes linen ideal for creating timeless wardrobe staples, such as trousers, tunics, shirts and dresses.
Linen's hypoallergenic and antibacterial qualities make it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies. Its natural resistance to bacteria ensures garments remain fresh.
From an environmental perspective, linen is a sustainable choice. Flax cultivation requires minimal water and pesticides, and every part of the plant is utilised, resulting in zero waste. Moreover, linen is biodegradable and recyclable, minimising environmental impact.
For those seeking high-quality linen fabrics, Fabworks offers a curated collection suitable for various projects. While 100% linens are favoured for their crispness and that classic ‘linen look’, linen-cotton blends have the benefits of both fibres, offering the durability
of linen teamed with the softness and gentle handle & drape of cotton. Both these compositions are perfect for creating comfortable and stylish summer garments.
Incorporating linen into your spring and summer sewing projects not only enhances your wardrobe with breathable and durable pieces but also supports sustainable practices, making it a choice that benefits both you and the environment.
