Generally, no. Due to its medium weight (170 gsm), it is opaque enough for most shirts, dresses, and trousers.
Yes, its stable nature makes it much easier to handle than slippery silks or lightweight rayons.
While machine washable, it is best to air dry to prolong the life of the fibers and reduce excessive wrinkling.
The fabric is sold by the metre and is cut as one continuous piece from the roll.
It means the fabric has been tested and proven to be free from harmful levels of over 100 substances known to be hazardous to human health.
Like all natural fibers, minor fading can occur over long periods, but washing in cold/warm water with color-safe detergent will minimize this.
Apply a light serged edge or stay-stitch pattern pieces immediately after cutting.
Ensure you are using a sharp universal needle and that the tension is set appropriately for medium-weight fabrics.
Use a light starch while ironing and ensure the garment is hung promptly after drying.
To ensure the best results, always pre-wash your fabric in the same manner you intend to clean the finished garment to account for pre-shrinkage. Use a universal sewing machine needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) and a high-quality polyester thread. Because linen can fray easily, finish all raw interior seams using a serger or a zigzag stitch. Iron the fabric while slightly damp for the best results in removing stubborn creases. Store away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the Soft Hazel color tone over many years.
