Our linen weave consists of 100% linen from controlled organic cultivation.
The linen knit is silky smooth and has a great drape. The fabric has the structure and feel typical of linen with thread irregularities. Ie some grass residues or thread irregularities are woven in here.
The linen is suitable for making blouses, trousers, skirts, dresses and much more. Linen trousers and skirts are wonderful to wear, especially as summer clothing.
combinations and cuffs
The linen woven fabric can be easily combined with all other linen woven fabrics in the shop. Slight differences in basis weight make no difference.
As a cuff, the wool cuff is ideal for light fabrics due to similar washing properties , alternatively an elastic band pulled into the hem works excellently.
design samples
We are also happy to show some design examples in the photos that were made available to us by enthusiastic customers. Thank you again for that!
The pants are the bloomers Sommerluften by Snyggli . The dress is a meadowsweet by frills .
We try to keep the links up-to-date, but links will sometimes go nowhere if the relevant fabrics are sold out in the meantime. Since we have a constantly changing range, this unfortunately cannot be ruled out. So if the link goes nowhere, the substance is currently not purchasable. But don't worry: popular fabrics keep coming back.

Woven linen
Woven linen
A wonderful fabric especially for the summer. Cooling light and pleasant on the skin.
The linen is suitable for making blouses, trousers, summer hats, but also tea towels and much more. - When it comes to tea towels, note that linen only absorbs water well after a few washes and "learns" with each use and is more and more suitable for drying.

care instructions
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.

In the blog there are a few tricks and tips for lines in general - with woven goods in general it is important that the raw edges are trimmed, otherwise they will unravel. We recommend making a felled seam or several seams in stressed areas.
