Shades: Natural‑white warp yarns are woven with dark‑brown weft yarns spun with metallic gold, producing a shimmering antique bronze basket effect.
Design: A clever basket‑weave linen fabric, woven from silken yet structured white‑linen yarns on the warp, interwoven with groups of three‑yarn formations through the weft to produce the characteristic rectangular repeating under‑and‑over blocks of a basket weave.

Properties:
Texture: This soft‑wash basket‑weave linen has a fine, complex structure that produces excellent visual and textural detail.

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.
