Description
Description
Pure Linen in solid colours is 150 GSM and 100% linen, in five colours: grey, natural, white, sky blue and dark navy. Natural is the undyed flax shade, and the others are piece dyed. It is a true mid weight linen, cool and breathable, with the slub and gentle crispness only pure linen has, and it softens with every wash.
What to sew with pure linen
- Summer shirts and relaxed trousers
- Shift dresses and wrap dresses
- Tablecloths, napkins and tea towels
- Curtains and cushion covers
- Aprons
Solid colour or printed
These colours are dyed and sold as they are. To print a design on the same linen, choose Pure Linen in white, the print base. For a lighter linen in more colours, see Light Linen Cotton in solid colours (140 GSM, nine colours). For more weight and drape, see Lyocell Linen in solid colours (225 GSM).
Pure linen questions
Does pure linen shrink? Yes, more than any blend in our range. Pre-wash it the way you will care for the finished piece, then cut.
Will the colour run? Wash deeper colours separately for the first few washes. Some dye release is normal for dyed linen.
Why does linen crease? Linen fibres have little natural stretch, so they crease. Iron hot with steam while slightly damp for a crisp finish, or enjoy the relaxed look.
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.
