Linen Fabrics

About Linen Fabrics

Linen fabric by the metre, natural and breathable for every season. Choose from pure linen in 60 lea and 40 lea, premium linen shirting, and cotton linen in plains and checks, in colours from whites and beiges to deep reds, greens and blues. Linen keeps you cool and gets softer with every wash, so it suits shirts, kurtas, dresses, co-ord sets and trousers. Buy any length by the metre, or contact us for bulk orders.

Frequently asked questions

What does 60 lea mean?
Lea is a measure of linen yarn thickness. A higher number like 60 lea means a finer yarn, which gives a lighter, smoother fabric than 40 lea.

What is the difference between pure linen and cotton linen?
Pure linen is made only from linen fibre and has a crisp, natural texture. Cotton linen blends cotton with linen, so it is softer and usually more affordable.

Does linen wrinkle?
Yes, linen creases naturally, which is part of its relaxed look. Iron it while slightly damp for a crisp finish.

How do I wash linen?
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water, and dry in the shade. Linen softens with each wash.
