Why we love this: this is the linen that does the quiet work of going with absolutely everything.

A cool, natural 'undyed' shade with all the easy drape of a proper dress-weight linen — this is the fabric you reach for when a pattern doesn't need convincing, just a good cloth to sew up in. Laundered at the mill before it even reaches you, so it arrives with that soft, lived-in hand rather than the crisp stiffness of an unwashed linen.

A note from the studio: linen seizes up a little after its first wash — don't panic, that's normal, and the fibres relax again the more you wear or use it. 

Beautiful for: The Trapeze or Hattie & Ellis for an easy, everyday dress. The 101 Trouser for something loose and warm-weather comfortable. Lighter, more casual curtains where you want linen's texture without a heavy formal drape.

Care Instructions:

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.
Never dry linen in direct sunlight as the colour can bleach and fade.

  • Fabric pricing is for 0.25m fabric (1 quantity = 0.25m)
  • You can order in 0.25m increments (i.e. 4 quantities = 1m x width of fabric)
  • Orders of 0.5m (2 quantities) or more will be cut as one continuous length
  • Orders of 0.25m (1 quantity) will be cut across the full width of fabric (25cm x fabric width) 
  • As all computer monitors show colours differently, we recommend ordering a sample of the cloth to check it is the right colour and weight for your project
