Orders of more than one piece will be cut in one continuous length unless instructed otherwise.
This is a beautifully open-woven natural grey linen, softening dramatically after a hot wash at 90°C. With its airy, fluid drape and rustic character, it’s ideal for both layered clothing and transparent curtains with a minimalist, natural aesthetic.
True to its name, Linen Cheesecloth is also traditionally used for cheese and curd making, herb sachets, and natural wraps or poultices. Versatile, breathable, and naturally elegant.
The Fabric
Woven from 100% untreated linen, this fabric has a light structure and a transparent finish. It has been prewashed, giving it a head start on softness and usability. The naturally grey tone comes directly from the flax fibre and fits beautifully into both modern and rustic settings.

The Environment
Linen is one of the most environmentally conscious fibres available. Flax grows with minimal inputs, thrives without chemical fertilisers, and uses very little water. Every part of the plant is utilised, making it a zero-waste, fully renewable material.
Health & Comfort
Naturally antibacterial and breathable, linen is kind to skin and ideal for sensitive users, especially in wellness and food preparation contexts. Its breathability also makes it excellent for warmer environments or as an outer textile layer.
Care
This fabric is prewashed, but will continue to soften with use. Wash at 60–90°C with a gentle, biodegradable detergent. Hang dripping wet to dry, and enjoy its naturally wrinkled character — no ironing needed.
