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.

Our Linen Fabric 'Linon' is suitable for:

Clothing:
Summer clothing, skirts, dresses, Blouses, Shirts 

Homeware and Crafts:
Patchwork, Quilting, home accessories and embroidery.

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.

One of a kind and a very special one at that. This heritage linen has been made from flax grown in Ireland, was spun & woven in Ireland over 100 years ago. Because it was woven by hand in a cottage industry setting, it is narrow, only 85cm wide. We dyed it 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 delicate linen and has an original feel to it. Also, the colour uptake was unique. It has a worn denim look, the blues mingle with lighter streaks of blue grey and blue purple. Only visible on close up inspection and impossible for me to catch with the camera, unfortunately. Let's put it like that: You won't be disappointed, if you like an original fabric.

Wash: it can be washed like other linen, but due to its age, I would recommend a gentle approach. No dry cleaning.

Cloud ~ naturally dyed using Indigo & Shibori techniques

This is a special treat, we had some left overs from a recent custom project and thought, perhaps you might like to do something with it? This is a one of a kind fabric, Irish lightweight linen spun and woven in Northern Ireland.

The clouds are created by using a shibori technique (similar to tie dye) then dyed with organic indigo. The white cloud pattern is spread widely across the entire fabric, with solid blue areas in between. Colour is a light to medium blue.

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.
