Product Details Sturdy-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 Linen is more tightly woven than most linen garment fabric. The result is a fabulous drape, it is more hard-wearing and it creases much less. Garment-linen tends to come in between 150-180gms.
Our sturdy-weight linen is the heavier of the 2 weights we offer. It is suitable for a wide range of garments, typically those that are worn as over-layers rather than under-layers as well as garments that are worn year-round. 
For Shirts , Tops and Summer Dresses we recommend our Mid-weight Linen (200gms).
