Cotton linen combines the cool handle of linen with the easy care of cotton. 137 cm wide, 155 g/m² — figures that tell you how heavily the fabric falls. Material: 45 % cotton and 55 % linen. Pre-washing is obligatory here — this fabric has a residual shrinkage of 5 %.
The tone Mud belongs to the earth colours and suits green, beige and rust without a second thought. Stripes ask for attention while cutting: they should meet at the seams. Wovens fray at the cut edge — so finishing belongs to every seam, whether by zigzag or overlocker.

Frequently asked questions
How do I press it?
At the usual cotton temperature and slightly damp. Before cutting it pays off especially: a smoothly pressed fabric cuts precisely, a creased one does not.
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them, especially patterned ones. In patchwork the small cut is the rule, and narrow strips still serve for pocket bags, appliqué or binding. Narrow strips make bias binding, wider offcuts become pocket bags.
Why does the fabric fray at the edge?
Because a woven is made of crossed threads that loosen at a cut edge. That is normal. Finish with zigzag, an overlocker or an enclosed seam — otherwise the edge unravels further with every wash.
What do I watch for when cutting?
The grain. Pattern pieces are aligned parallel to the selvedge, otherwise the finished piece distorts. On patterned goods the motif direction comes on top. The grain line appears on the pattern piece as an arrow; it runs parallel to the selvedge.
