The Minerva Core Range Washed Slub Linen is an ideal choice for garment makers and crafters who prioritize comfort, breathability, and a rustic aesthetic in their projects. This medium-weight fabric is perfect for creating versatile shirts, dresses, trousers, and skirts, offering a soft hand-feel that only improves with repeated washing. While it is incredibly easy to work with and highly durable, users should note that, like most linen, it is prone to natural creasing which requires consistent pressing for a crisp appearance.

No, this is a non-stretch woven linen fabric.
Apply a stay-stitch or use an overlocker/serger on all raw edges immediately after cutting your pattern pieces.
Always pre-wash and dry your fabric using the same method you intend to use for the finished garment before you begin cutting.
Switch to a sharp, new universal needle and ensure the tension settings on your machine are calibrated for medium-weight fabrics.
To ensure the longevity of your Minerva Core Range Linen, pre-wash the fabric before cutting to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a universal sewing machine needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) and a high-quality polyester thread. Because linen tends to fray, overlock or zigzag the raw edges of your pattern pieces immediately after cutting. For long-term care, machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius using a gentle cycle. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fibers, and you may iron while slightly damp for the best results in removing stubborn creases.
