LIOLINA | Textured Natural Linen Fabric

LIOLINA – Textured Natural Grey & White Linen Fabric

100% Linen | 280 g/mÂČ | Approx. 150 cm Wide | European Production

If silk is the queen of the East, linen is surely its European cousin.

LIOLINA is one of my personal favourites – a beautifully textured, substantial European linen woven from two-tone, slubby yarns in natural grey and white. The combination of unbleached natural-grey and oxygen-bleached white yarns creates a wonderfully lively, subtly mottled appearance, full of depth and natural character.

At 280 g/mÂČ, LIOLINA is one of the heavier linens in our collection. Its robust construction and tactile surface make it an excellent all-round fabric for jackets, trousers, bags, upholstery, curtains and creative textile projects.

Strong, versatile and full of personality, LIOLINA becomes increasingly soft and comfortable with washing and use while retaining its distinctive textured appearance.

The Fabric

LIOLINA is woven from 100% linen in a traditional plain weave, using slubby yarns that create subtle irregularities and a beautifully tactile surface.

Its distinctive appearance comes from the combination of natural-grey, unbleached yarns and oxygen-bleached white yarns, giving the fabric a softly mottled, two-tone character.

Despite its substantial 280 g/mÂČ weight, the fabric remains breathable and develops a softer, more relaxed feel after washing.

The sturdy construction makes LIOLINA particularly well suited to projects requiring durability and structure, from everyday jackets and trousers to furniture covers and substantial home textiles.

Please note: LIOLINA is not prewashed. Allow for approximately 10–15% shrinkage before cutting and sewing. Product photographs show the fabric after washing.

Natural Dyeing

LIOLINA offers interesting possibilities for natural dyeing, embroidery and textile surface design.

Its combination of unbleached natural-grey and oxygen-bleached white yarns provides a distinctive starting point for natural colour.

Because the two yarn types have different starting shades and have undergone different processing, the finished colour may develop subtle tonal variations, allowing the textured character of the weave to remain or become even more visible.

The robust plain weave and slubby surface also make LIOLINA an interesting choice for decorative stitching and experimental textile projects.

As a cellulose fibre, linen benefits from thorough scouring and an appropriate cellulose mordanting process to achieve consistent and lasting results.

Please note: The natural-grey and white yarns may respond differently to dyes. We recommend testing your chosen dyeing process on a small sample, particularly when aiming for an even colour.

Sustainability & Natural Fibres

Linen is made from flax, a renewable plant fibre traditionally cultivated across Europe.

Flax can grow with relatively little irrigation in suitable climates, and different parts of the plant can be used for textiles, linseed oil and other products, helping to make efficient use of the crop.

Linen is naturally strong, long-lasting and biodegradable under suitable conditions. Its durability makes it particularly appealing for garments, accessories and household textiles intended for years of use.

LIOLINA is woven entirely from flax fibres, without synthetic fibre blends.

The distinctive two-tone appearance is achieved by combining natural, unbleached grey yarns with partially oxygen-bleached white yarns rather than dyeing the entire finished fabric.

Care Instructions

Before Sewing

  • Prewash to allow for approximately 10–15% shrinkage.

  • Allow the fabric to relax fully before cutting.

  • Remember that the photographs show the washed fabric.

Washing & Drying

  • Machine wash at 60–90°C on a normal cycle, according to the supplier's care recommendations.

  • Use an eco-friendly laundry detergent.

  • Hang to dry naturally or lay flat while damp.

  • Avoid excessive tumble drying to minimise additional shrinkage.

Ironing & Finishing

There is no need to iron LIOLINA unless you prefer a smoother finish. Its natural creasing and slightly irregular texture are part of its charm.

If desired, iron while the fabric is still damp.

With every wash, LIOLINA becomes softer, more supple and beautifully lived-in, retaining the structure and textured character that make this fabric such a favourite.

ÉRIU DK SOFT – Special Collection

Irish Wool Blend | DK Weight | Naturally Dyed Multicolour in Ireland 🇼đŸ‡Ș

This special collection explores the full palette of natural colour.

Using Ériu's signature Irish wool blend of Romney lambswool and Bluefaced Leicester, each skein is dyed individually at AppleOak FibreWorks using a wide range of traditional natural dye sources. Colours emerge through layered dyeing, over-dyeing, and careful handling in the dye vat, creating rich multicolour variation across the yarn.

These skeins carry movement, depth, and quiet unpredictability — tones shift along the length of the yarn, revealing themselves fully only when knitted.

The wool is sourced directly from Irish farms and spun in Ireland. Each skein is then naturally dyed in our studio using sustainable methods and a combination of homegrown and traditional natural dye materials.

No two skeins are fully identical.

Natural dyes used

This collection may include colours created using:

‱ Logwood
‱ Madder root
‱ Weld
‱ Buckthorn bark
‱ Sage and other plant dyes
‱ Oak galls
‱ Cochineal (insect-derived, not vegan)

These dyes may be used individually or in combination through layered dye processes.

Cochineal is a traditional natural dye derived from insects and is not vegan.

LIMA

Wool, Tussah Silk & Linen | Sport Weight | Naturally Dyed

Lima is a quietly complex yarn — combining softness, structure, and light with the subtle texture of plant and silk fibres.

Made from a balanced blend of wool, tussah silk, and linen, Lima offers strength and breathability alongside gentle lustre. The tussah silk, often called peace silk, is produced after the silk moth has naturally emerged from the cocoon. This creates a slightly more textured fibre, which interacts beautifully with natural dyes.

The addition of linen introduces a delicate speckle and gentle irregularity, giving the yarn visual depth and character.

Soft yet structured, Lima is especially suited to garments for warmer seasons, offering comfort, breathability, and durability.

The wool is sourced and processed in Peru. Linen from South America and tussah silk from China are blended and spun with the wool in Peru. Each skein is then naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using traditional, sustainable natural dye methods and organic dye materials.
