The Minerva Core Range Mill Washed Linen in Ochre is an ideal choice for garment makers seeking a durable, medium-weight fabric that balances crisp structure with natural breathability. Designed for those who value longevity and comfort, this fabric excels in creating everything from structured trousers to flowing summer dresses, though users should be aware that, like all high-quality linens, it requires careful management of natural wrinkling over time.

While air drying is recommended to extend the life of the fibers, you may tumble dry on a low setting, though this may increase wrinkling.
As with all natural linens, some minimal shrinkage may occur. Pre-washing the fabric before starting your project is highly recommended.
Yes, at 240 gsm, the Minerva Mill Washed Linen has excellent opacity, meaning it is generally not see-through for standard garment applications.
Use a steam iron on a medium-hot setting. Pressing while the fabric is slightly damp yields the best results.
Yes, its medium weight and stable weave make it very easy to handle, cut, and sew, even for those new to dressmaking.
Use a zigzag stitch or a serger/overlocker to finish all raw edges immediately after cutting.
Ensure you are using a sharp, standard sewing needle and verify that the needle size is appropriate for the medium-weight fabric.
Before starting your project, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric at 40 degrees to account for any initial settling. When cutting, ensure your shears are sharp to maintain clean edges on the linen weave. For sewing, a universal needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) is generally effective. To maintain the vibrant ochre color and structural quality, avoid harsh chemicals. When pressing your finished garment, use a medium-hot iron with steam to easily smooth out wrinkles and set seams.
