Do you sell linen fabric by the yard?
We sell by the meter. One meter is about 1.09 yards, so for 3 yards order 3 meters (about 3.3 yards).
What does the Lea count mean?
Lea measures how fine the linen yarn is. A higher Lea means finer, lighter yarn for shirts. A lower Lea means heavier yarn for pants, suits, bedding and curtains.
Can you make linen in a custom size, such as covers for a sofa, chair or unusual bed?
Yes. Everything we make is cut to order, so we can make bedding, curtains and covers for sofas, chairs, cushions and other furniture to your exact measurements. Send us your measurements and the fabric you like, and we'll get back to you with a quote.
Will linen shrink after washing?
Linen can shrink a little in hot water or a hot dryer. Wash cold, or no warmer than 40°C (104°F), on a gentle cycle, then line dry or tumble dry on low. Do that and your piece keeps its size.
