Product Details Mid-weight Linen Fabric

European washed linen tumbled at the mill for softness and durability.
Unlike most linens, our linen is dyed before it is woven, which allows us to create many cross-weaves. A cross-weave fabric is made up of vertical threads (the warp) in one colour and the horizontal threads (the weft) in a different colour. This style of weaving is popular with silk fabrics. The shimmery colour-changing effect that this creates in silk is known as shot silk. When applying this process to matte fibres like linen, the effect tends to be a deepening of the perceived colour of the fabric. Even after many washes, the colour remains more lively than that of fabric-dyed single-coloured linen.

Our mid-weight linen is suitable for a wide range of garments, from dresses to trousers, shirts and skirts. It is more tightly woven than most linen fabrics on the market, which is why it is heavier (garment-linen tends to come in between 150-180gms). The result is a fabulous drape, it is more hard-wearing and it creases much less.
