Mousse au chocolat linen knit
A rich, gorgeous dark brown. A great fabric to combine with almost any other color.
Linen is only conditionally suitable as ribbing because it has very little elasticity. Working with a facing is one option, or using other fabrics for the ribbing. We often use wool jersey or wool/silk blends for this purpose.
We don't have the exact same shade in stock here, so we can work with contrasting colors.
Design examples
Here you can see a men's shirt where dark chocolate wool jersey was used for the neckline (unfortunately not very visible in the photo - the color matches quite well, but not 100%, the dark chocolate wool jersey is slightly lighter).
The pattern for the men's shirt is by Lumali der Kalle.
The women's shirt was sewn using the Miss Knopf pattern from Nähcram in its simplest version. A raspberry-red wool jersey facing extends to just below the bust, peeking out slightly. The skirt was sewn from our mauve-colored boiled wool using the Tiffany pattern from Tinalisa , with a custom seam added.
You can also see the Lampone Walk with chocolate cherry Lampone polka dot jacquard and Lampone wool cuffs; the skirt is the Wild Pepper by Firlefanz. The top is theMagic Painting Shirt by KiooKioo in linen knit in Mousse au Chocolat.

Pure linen (kba)
The linen knit is silky soft, light and has a great drape. The fabric has the structure and feel typical of linen with thread irregularities, but with a knitted look. This means that some grass remnants or thread irregularities are knitted in here, as is also the case with woven linen. Due to the knitting, slight stripe optics can also be seen within the fabric.
The fabric is not completely opaque. As a piece of clothing, however, it is more opaque than it appears at first glance.

The linen knit is a wonderful light knit fabric made from 100% organic linen (kba).
It's 100% linen and unlike most linen fabrics on the market, it's knitted rather than woven, making it slightly stretchy.

We have taken the following washing instructions from Utopia because we cannot add anything else to the text:
"The linen fiber is smooth and the linen fabric traps little air, so linen is lint-free and less susceptible to dirt and bacteria. In addition, the fabric is breathable and therefore cool on the skin - an ideal summer fabric!
Linen is only susceptible to friction (from wet fabric). You should therefore be careful not to roughen the fibers too much when washing, otherwise the fabric will become hard and scratchy. The following washing instructions will keep the fabric smooth and clean:
For less heavily soiled or rarely worn pieces, you can air them out in the fresh air first. That can be enough to make them fresh and fragrant again. The right temperature: wash dyed linen at a maximum of 40 degrees. You can wash natural linen at 60 degrees, if necessary even at 95 degrees. In order not to roughen the linen unnecessarily, you should use the gentle cycle on your machine or reduce the spin speed. Linen requires a lot of water when washing because the fibers are strong swell. Therefore, put slightly fewer items in your washing machine than you would with other materials. Also, make sure not to wash your linens more often than necessary. This saves water and energy. For linen, use a mild organic detergent without brighteners. Never put linen in the dryer. Rather hang it flat to dry. This keeps the linen soft and supple." Note - if you don't have a gentle cycle in the machine, just use the wool program - only the normal program should not be used.
sewing instructions
sewing instructions
The linen knit is suitable for making blouses, trousers, skirts, dresses and much more - the fabric does not stretch enough to be used as cuffs or used without adjustment for patterns designed for fabrics with high stretch. We recommend cuts that are designed for fabrics that only stretch slightly or cuts that are recommended for woven fabrics.
