Description

Lyocell Linen is 225 GSM and 137cm wide, a blend of 80% lyocell and 20% linen. Lyocell gives it a fluid, heavy drape and a soft hand; linen adds body, breathability and a subtle slub. It sews more steadily than viscose and has enough weight for tailored pieces that still move. Buy it plain by the metre in white, or printed to order as the base for any PrintLab design.

What to sew with lyocell linen

  • Wide leg trousers
  • Structured dresses and pinafores
  • Relaxed jackets and overshirts
  • Jumpsuits
  • Skirts with weight and swing

Lyocell linen or viscose

Choose Signature Viscose (170 GSM) for a lighter, more fluid dress. Choose Linen Viscose Slub (180 GSM) for a textured mid weight. Lyocell Linen is the heaviest drape base, for pieces that need to hang well. It also comes in solid colours.

Printed lyocell linen

Colour sits softly on the matte surface. Botanicals, abstracts and larger prints suit trousers and dresses. Pick any design from the PrintLab catalogue, or upload your own artwork.

Lyocell linen questions

What is lyocell? A fibre made from wood pulp. It is soft, breathable and drapes well.

Does it crease? Less than pure linen. Steam out creases from the back.

Does it shrink? Expect some shrinkage on the first wash. Pre-wash before you cut.

Is it good for trousers? Yes. At 225 GSM it has the weight to hang straight in a wide leg.

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 Lyocell Linen 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.
