Yes, its medium weight makes it much easier to handle than lighter-weight lawns or slippery silks.
Yes, we always cut the total meterage as one continuous length from the roll.
As it is 100% natural fiber, minor shrinkage is possible. We recommend pre-washing before cutting your pattern pieces.
It is excellent for trousers, skirts, summer dresses, aprons, and light-weight curtains or cushion covers.
At 170 gsm, this is a medium-weight fabric that is generally opaque for clothing projects, though very light colors may require a lining for modesty.
Use a serger or a zigzag stitch on all seam allowances immediately after cutting to prevent unravelling.
Switch to a fresh Microtex needle, as linen fibers can sometimes be dense and cause standard needles to deflect.
Linen softens significantly with each wash; try a gentle fabric softener or a second wash cycle to improve the hand-feel.
Before starting your project, it is highly recommended to pre-wash the fabric using your intended laundry method to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a 40-degree machine setting and hang to dry for the best results. When cutting, ensure the grainline is squared off, as linen can sometimes shift on the roll. For pressing, use a hot iron, preferably while the fabric is slightly damp, to remove wrinkles effectively. Avoid using heavy bleaching agents to maintain the integrity of the natural linen fibers over time.
