Description
This cotton linen creases the way linen does. That belongs to the fabric and cannot be pressed away for good. At 210 g/m² and 136 cm wide the fabric suits the usual paper patterns. It is made from 30 % linen and 70 % viscose. Mind the residual shrinkage of 6 %: wash the fabric once before cutting, the way you will wash the finished piece.
With Black you get the base colour that makes up half of almost any wardrobe. A universal needle and a straight stitch are all it takes — woven cotton needs no more.
What Cotton Linen in Black is suitable for
- patchwork and quilting
- bags and pouches
- accessories and decor

Frequently asked questions
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern, the fabric width and the print. Large motifs demand waste, since pieces have to be placed to match. On repeat prints allow half a metre more.
Does it suit patchwork?
Yes, woven cotton is the standard material for it. It cuts precisely, does not distort while sewing and presses flat — three qualities that matter in patchwork.
Does it suit children's clothes?
For shirts, skirts, dresses and trousers yes. For t-shirts and anything close-fitting a knit is the better choice, because it moves — a woven does not.
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Cotton shrinks, by varying amounts depending on the finish. Wash the fabric the way you will wash the finished piece, press it, and only then cut.
