Broad, softly flowing bands run across this cloth in green, olive and earth tones like contour lines on a map. Those colours blend into each other, so no hard edge appears.
Ira is a light cotton-linen in 69 % cotton with 31 % linen. At 115 g/m² it is the airiest cloth in this group — a higher cotton share makes it softer and less prone to creasing than pure linen, while linen still gives that dry handle. 145 cm wide, by the metre from 0.2 metres. Wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees, press at a low setting; bleaching and tumble drying are out. Wash before cutting, then your measurements still hold after sewing; residual shrinkage runs around 5 %.
What Baumwoll-Leinen Ira Wellen Grün/Erdtöne von Swafing is suitable for
- Summer dresses, because these waves work across a large area.
- Wide trousers, because a light cloth drapes well.
- Pairings with plain olive, because that shade sits in the pattern.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to match the pattern?
This pattern runs evenly across the width with no visible top or bottom. So you can lay pattern pieces freely and save fabric, because nothing needs aligning with repeats.
Does it crease much?
Yes, that comes with its linen share. Many people like exactly that lively surface. If you want it smoother, hang your garment damp and pull it into shape rather than pressing it later.
How much fabric do I need?
A blouse usually takes one and a half metres, a summer dress two. Compare your pattern's stated fabric width against the one given here, or you will misjudge it easily.
Does it soften over time?
Yes, that is linen's pleasant habit: every wash softens its handle without losing firmness. After a few weeks a linen shirt feels different from how it felt on day one.
