Description

Beautifully versatile, this 100% washed linen fabric has a lovely soft feel and a relaxed, naturally textured finish. At 238gsm, its medium weight offers the perfect balance of substance and softness, making it ideal for dressmaking, cushion covers, curtains, table linens, aprons, bags and a whole host of home sewing projects.

Washed linen is a beautifully soft, breathable natural fabric made from flax fibres and specially washed to give it a relaxed, lived-in feel. Unlike traditional crisp linen, it has a softer handle and more supple drape while retaining linen's natural strength and distinctive texture — making it a wonderfully versatile choice for dressmaking and home sewing.

If you want the timeless beauty of linen with extra softness and comfort from the very first wear, washed linen is an excellent choice.

Sewing Notes

Washed linen is stable and enjoyable to sew, making it suitable for beginners and experienced sewists alike.

• Use a universal needle (80/12 or 90/14 depending on weight)
• Prewash before cutting to allow for any remaining shrinkage
• Finish raw edges to prevent fraying
• Press with steam for a crisp finish or embrace the natural creases

It's a fantastic fabric for sewists who want to create timeless garments and beautiful home accessories with a natural, effortless feel.

The Finish You're After

If you're looking for natural beauty, lasting quality and relaxed elegance, washed linen delivers beautiful texture and everyday versatility that only gets better with use.
