Description

Light Linen Cotton in solid colours is 140 GSM and 132cm wide, 55% linen and 45% cotton, in nine colours: white, sand, camel, chocolate, fuchsia, red, emerald, denim and navy. It is the lightest linen led fabric in our range: breathable, soft and matte, with the natural slub of linen and a little less creasing than pure linen.

Light linen cotton questions

Does it shrink? Linen blends shrink more than cotton alone, typically 4 to 6% on the first wash. Pre-wash before you cut.

Is it see-through? It is a light fabric, so white and sand may need a lining for skirts and trousers. Darker colours are opaque enough for shirts and dresses.

How do I iron it? A warm iron with steam, while the fabric is still slightly damp.

Can I see the colour first? Yes. Order a 25 x 25cm swatch in any colour from this page. Screens vary, so a swatch is the best way to match a colour.
