DARK ITALIAN BLUE ~ Naturally dyed Italian oversized Linen Fabric
Another well seasoned indigo dyed oversized linen (280cm). Dyed last year with organic indigo for a project, but in the end it wasn't dark enough for the designer's requirements. The fabric is a light to medium linen and has a smooth slightly textured feel to it. Dyed over 2 weeks, the indigo colour is deep and varies from lighter to darker areas. It looks almost blue black in a darker indoor setting. Outside in the sun it shows its depth and complexity like a blue diamond. Original in every way.
This Linen is suitable for:
Clothing:
Clothing, skirts, dresses, Blouses, Shirts, trousers, hats
Homeware and Crafts:
Bedding, Patchwork, Quilting, home accessories and embroidery.
In a nutshell:
Material: 100% Italian Linen
Width approx.: 280cm
Colour: Indigo blue - naturally dyed in Ireland
Weight: 116g/m2
Wash: it can be washed like other linen up to 60 degrees. No dry cleaning.
Environment:
Linen can be expensive, but it is also much better for the environment. Flax plants are very resilient, they can grow in poor soil, and require very little water. What’s more, every single part of the flax plant is then used in making all types of products, from linen clothing to varnishes.
Health:
Similar to silk, 100% linen is wonderful for people with sensitive skin and those prone to allergic reactions like "prickly heat" in hot weather. For women who suffer from "hot flushes", 100% linen is the most comfortable answer in warm environments.
Care:
Linen can't and shouldn't be ironed. The creasing is part of the natural allure. The creasing also molds the garment, and in practice the more creasing there is, the less evident it becomes as the whole garment softens.
Linen loves being washed and dries much quicker than Cotton. The more it is worn and washed the softer the fabric becomes. It also lasts much longer than cotton, as it is harder wearing and a much stronger material.
IRISH LINEN ~ available in 2 natural colours
I would love to describe Linen as the European version of Silk. The best linen is produced in Ireland, Belgium and some other European countries.
A fine and softly woven linen fabric, using oxygen bleached fibres to create a soft flowing textured cloth. This Linen fabric comes unwashed and is a little stiff for starters. Once it has been washed it will be softer and we would recommend to wash the fabric first, before sewing.

What is Viscose?
Viscose is made from waste wood pulp like Beech and Birch. It is a rayon fabric, but, unlike modal, the process includes some chemicals. Here is how viscose is made:
- The plant is chipped into a wood pulp and dissolved chemicals like sodium hydroxide, forming a brown wood pulp solution.
- This brown wood pulp is then washed, cleaned, and bleached.
- To create the fibers, the pulp is treated with carbon disulfide and then dissolved in sodium hydroxide to create the solution referred to as “viscose.”
- The viscose solution is forced through a spinneret, which is a machine that creates filaments, called regenerated cellulose.
- This regenerated cellulose is spun into yarn, which can then be woven or knit into viscose rayon fabric.

Linen can be expensive, but it is also much better for the environment. Flax plants are very resilient, they can grow in poor soil, and require very little water. What’s more, every single part of the flax plant is then used in making all types of products, from linen clothing to varnishes.
Health:
Similar to silk, 100% linen is wonderful for people with sensitive skin and those prone to allergic reactions like "prickly heat" in hot weather. For women who suffer from "hot flushes", 100% linen is the most comfortable answer in warm environments.
Care:
Linen can't and shouldn't be ironed. The creasing is part of the natural allure. The creasing also molds the garment, and in practice the more creasing there is, the less evident it becomes as the whole garment softens.
Linen loves being washed and dries much quicker than Cotton. The more it is worn and washed the softer the fabric becomes. It also lasts much longer than cotton, as it is harder wearing and a much stronger material.

Width approx.: 150 cm
Colour: White
Weight: 125 g/square meter

OFFCUT LIOLINA ~ Natural Linen Fabric 65x150cm
*orders of more than one piece will be cut in one continuous length unless instructed otherwise *
I would love to describe Linen as the European version of Silk. The best linen is produced in Ireland, Belgium and some other European countries.
*Pictures show the washed fabric*
Liolina is an interesting blend of bleached and natural coloured, slubby spun linen yarn and one of my personal favourites. The fabric has a textured look and feel and is extremely versatile as well as economical. Not only in the dyeing studio, but also how it can be used. It is heavier than most of our linens and will make for some interesting garments or home decorations.

What is Viscose?
Viscose is made from waste wood pulp like Beech and Birch. It is a rayon fabric, but, unlike modal, the process includes some chemicals. Here is how viscose is made:
- The plant is chipped into a wood pulp and dissolved chemicals like sodium hydroxide, forming a brown wood pulp solution.
- This brown wood pulp is then washed, cleaned, and bleached.
- To create the fibers, the pulp is treated with carbon disulfide and then dissolved in sodium hydroxide to create the solution referred to as “viscose.”
- The viscose solution is forced through a spinneret, which is a machine that creates filaments, called regenerated cellulose.
- This regenerated cellulose is spun into yarn, which can then be woven or knit into viscose rayon fabric.
