Merchant & Mills 260 Linen (per 1/2M)

European laundered linen, tumbled at the mill for softness and a super soft handle. This slubby linen is made from special tow yarn which gives the cloth its nice raw textured appearance. It is the irregular character of the fibre that lends a lovely natural charm to this pure linen. It is produced in small batches in Eastern Europe where there is a strong heritage of spinning and weaving linen fabric. It can be used in the home for loose covers, curtains, cushions, and light upholstery. It is also a great weight for trousers or light weight slouchy jackets. This would work well for the Strides and Haremere coat and in our Workbook, or a sleeveless Trapeze dress. Connor & Elwen are wearing the free the Bucket Hat pattern. Elwen is wearing the September coat. 145cm or 57" wide. 7.7oz, 260gsm. 100% linen. Wash at 30 degrees with a non bio detergent. 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. Martindale rub test for upholstery - 15,000 rubs (loose covers, occasional chairs). 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. This linen is Oeko-Tex certified.
