Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? Contact us and we'll help.

How wide is your linen fabric?

Most of our linen fabric is 56 inches (about 142 cm) wide. Our CALM linen for bedding is woven 120 inches (about 305 cm) wide, so large pieces like King duvet covers can be cut without a center seam.

The width is listed on each fabric's page. When planning a project, check your pattern's fabric requirements for 56-inch (or 140–150 cm) fabric, and order a little extra to allow for pattern matching and pre-washing.

Do you sell linen fabric by the yard?

Yes. You can order our linen fabric in yards or meters; just switch the unit on the product page. You can buy in 10 cm steps beyond the first meter, so you only pay for what your project needs.

Not sure about a color? Order a $3 swatch first to see and feel the fabric. Most of our fabric is 56 inches (about 142 cm) wide, and our CALM linen is 120 inches wide. Each fabric page shows its width and weight, so you can plan your cutting layout before you order.

Should I wash linen fabric before sewing?

Many of our fabrics are already washed and pre-shrunk, and the product page says so when they are. If a fabric isn't, wash it the way you'll wash the finished piece before you cut it: cold, or no warmer than 40°C (104°F), then line dry or tumble dry on low.

Pre-washing lets the fabric do any shrinking before it becomes a garment, so your finished piece keeps its size. It also softens the linen and makes it easier to sew. Order a little extra fabric to allow for this.

Can you sew something from this fabric for me?

Yes. Our own tailors can make shirts, pants, dresses, curtains, bedding or furniture covers from any of our fabrics, cut to your measurements. That's a good option if you've found a color you love but don't sew, or need something we don't list.

Contact us with what you'd like made, your measurements or sizes, and a photo or sketch if you have one, and we'll send you a quote.

Do you sell linen fabric wholesale?

Yes. Designers, clothing brands, interior designers and businesses can buy our linen fabric in bulk. We stock a wide range of colors and weights, from fine shirting linen to heavyweight suiting, plus our 120-inch CALM linen for bedding.

Contact us or visit our wholesale page with the fabrics and quantities you need, and we'll send you pricing. We can also make finished pieces from the fabric if you'd rather not produce them yourself.
