Light linen black

Lightweight Linen for Summer DIY 

Linen comes in various thicknesses; here you get one of the lighter qualities with fine weaves. Choose your favourite colour, and use the linen for summer clothing such as a cool bucket hat, lovely shirts, and airy trousers. Linen allows the skin to breathe and is light and comfortable to wear.  

 

Linen for the Home 

Linen also works well when making soft toys and decorations, where you want that slightly rustic, natural look.  

 

We also love linen for table settings! Allow the tablecloth to wrinkle slightly with matching napkins and use a coarse stone as a "napkin ring" to keep everything in place in the summer breeze. Or iron everything before use for a classic look.  

 

Linen – the Natural Material 

Linen is a natural fibre that has been used for clothing for thousands of years. It's a durable, lightweight, breathable, and absorbent material, often worn in warm weather. It tends to wrinkle and is therefore perfect for a more casual look.  

 

Did you know that linen becomes softer when you wash it a few times?  

 

A Bit More About This Linen 

The fabric is made from 100% linen, comes in a width of 140 cm and exactly the length you need. This linen shrinks 5% when washed.  

 

We recommend that you use universal needles in size 80 when sewing with this linen.
