The linen content gives this fabric its typical irregular texture — intended, and the source of its character. At 145 cm wide its weight per square metre is 115 g/m². It is woven from 69 % cotton and 31 % linen. At 5 % residual shrinkage the fabric belongs in the wash before cutting, or the finished piece no longer fits after its first wash.
Grey/Black/Beige is less delicate than white and friendlier than black. Everyday life lies exactly between them. An abstract pattern commits to no theme and so suits adult clothing as readily as decor. Pressing before cutting pays off: a smooth fabric lies exactly, a creased one does not.
What Baumwoll-Leinen Adria Abstrakt Erdtöne von Swafing is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- patchwork and quilting
- curtains and drapes
Frequently asked questions
Does the colour bleed in the wash?
Strongly dyed cotton can give off a little colour in its first wash. That is why you pre-wash, and separately. After that the fabric is normally colour-stable.
Which needle do I need?
A universal needle in a medium size covers most cottons. On dense or coated qualities go one size up, on fine batiste one size down.
The fabric does not stretch — is that a problem?
No, but the pattern has to allow for it. With wovens, freedom of movement comes from width, pleats and darts rather than stretch. A jersey pattern cannot simply be sewn in a woven.
What is bias binding?
A strip cut at forty-five degrees to the grain. In that direction even a woven stretches, which is exactly why it binds a curve cleanly.
