Description
This cotton linen creases the way linen does. That belongs to the fabric and cannot be pressed away for good. The web measures 137 cm across; its weight comes to 210 g/m². Its composition reads 22 % linen and 78 % viscose. Residual shrinkage comes to 6 %. Allow accordingly more yardage and wash before cutting.
Olive sits in the green field and reads fresh or earthy there depending on saturation. The fabric does not stretch. That makes it precise to cut and forgiving to sew, but the pattern has to allow for movement.
What Cotton Linen in Olive is suitable for
- skirts and dresses
- cushions and table linen
- bags and pouches

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
