Description

Linen Viscose Slub is 180 GSM and 133cm wide, a blend of 85% viscose and 15% linen woven from slub yarn. Viscose gives it fluid drape, linen adds breathability and body, and the slub yarn gives the surface a soft, irregular texture. It is opaque, so most garments need no lining. Buy it plain by the metre in white, or printed to order as the base for any PrintLab design.

What to sew with linen viscose

  • Summer dresses and tunics
  • Wide leg and drawstring trousers
  • Relaxed shirts
  • Skirts
  • Kaftans

Linen viscose, viscose or pure linen

Choose Signature Viscose (170 GSM) for a smooth, fluid finish. Choose Pure Linen (150 GSM) for crisp texture and breathability. Linen Viscose Slub sits between them: the drape of viscose with the look of linen.

Printed linen viscose

The slub texture shows through the print, which suits botanicals, block prints and relaxed florals. Pick any design from the PrintLab catalogue, or upload your own artwork.

Linen viscose questions

Does it crease? Less than pure linen, more than viscose. The texture hides light creasing.

Is it see-through? No. It is opaque, so most garments need no lining.

Does it shrink? Viscose can shrink. Wash cool and pre-wash before you cut.

Will the texture press out? No. The slub is in the yarn, so it stays.

Can I feel it first? Yes. Order a 25 x 25cm swatch from this page, or the Base Fabrics Pack to compare every print base.

How Linen Viscose Slub is printed

Natural fibre bases are printed with reactive dyes, then steamed and washed, so the colour bonds with the fibre and the fabric stays soft and breathable. How reactive printing works.
