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 characteristic slubs (once viewed as a fault) are now part of the aesthetic appeal of quality linen fabric. 

Perfect Day Sketch is stable, and lightly textured, with the reassuring naturally absorbent and comfortable feel of classic linen garments, lightly textured and will soften with washing and wear. This lightweight fabric is predominantly closely woven with a feature of fancy open weave areas that glisten with the silken sheen of the viscose fibres, creating an almost French couture style perfect for Channelling your inner designer!!
