European laundered linen, tumbled at the mill for softness. Goodnight is a deep dark blue.
The 185 dress weight linen is our go-to linen for all dress making. It is a great match for dresses, tops and loose fitting trousers.
This linen also works well for lighter curtains for a casual less refined look.
It is produced in small batches in Eastern Europe where there is a strong heritage of spinning and weaving linen fabric. Our 185 linen collection is woven in a mill run on green energy and is Oeko-Tex certified.
100% linen.
143cm wide, 185gsm or 5.5oz.
Wash at 30 degrees with a non-bio detergent. Do not tumble. Shake out and dry flat. Linen will always seize up after washing but as soon as you start to use/wear it the fibres relax again.
If you are using this linen for curtains we recommend using a lining to prevent fading.
This linen is Oeko-Tex certified.
The dyes used on this cloth are GOTS certified.
Fabric can be ordered in quarter metres. We will cut a skinny quarter by standard. If you would prefer a fat quarter, let us know in the 'note to merchant' box during checkout.
Linen is naturally stain resistant, does not pile, and is moth repellent. It is easy to wash as it can sustain high temperatures, has very little if no shrinkage and is very strong.
It is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, hypoallergenic and thermoregulating, it will also absorb up to 20% moisture before feeling damp.
As linen fibres have low elasticity (which causes them to crease) it will wear in any areas that are repeatedly folded in the same place for a long time, however, it does have much better abrasion resistance than say, cotton.
Flax is a strong plant best grown in northern Europe. It needs little or no fertilisers and due to the local climate, little extra water. It doesn’t require many pesticides either as it can grow in poor quality soil. The Advisory Commission Report to the European Parliament stated that flax cultivation has positive effects on eco-system diversity as it allows for an “environmental pause”. One hectare of flax can retain 3.7 tonnes of CO2. Every part of the plant is used, what isn’t used to produce linen can be used to make linseed oil, paper, cattle feed or even soap.
Linen is therefore almost naturally organic. It is completely biodegradable, recyclable and due to its natural absorbency, it requires less dye than cotton. Linen therefore scores high on the ecological chart.
