One of our most popular fabrics that we sell during the warmer months of the year is our Linen Fabric. This lightweight cloth is available in a beautiful range of colours, perfect to suit anyone's tastes and style. Even with its lighter weight, it still drapes beautifully and looks fantastic when made up as a full skirt - I personally have made circle skirts from our Linen Fabric and have been overjoyed with the results every time. This gorgeous textile is one of the oldest fabrics in the world, with its history going thousands and thousands of years. Small pieces of Linen Fabric have been found in places such as Egyptian tombs, which date back all the way to as early as 4000BC - mummies would have been wrapped in Linen as a show of their wealth. With its name deriving from the latin word for the flax plant, 'linum', Linen Fabric is a textile made from fibres of the very same plant. It is sought after for its ability to keep the wearer of any garment made from Linen feeling cool and fresh, particularly in the warmer weather during the summer. It is very desirable for making lightweight clothing such as shorts, skirts and blouses, and is always extremely popular with our customers all year round. Our high quality Linen Fabric is super soft to the touch, ensuring a fantastic level of comfort while being worn. It is easy to clean, easy to wash and is popular for not only clothing, but also accessories such as bags, and even soft furnishings such as cushions and throws for the home.
