Linen is practically perfect in every way – it breathes, wicks away moisture, dries quickly, washes easily, and can be ironed. Its sole drawback is that it can feel a bit course against sensitive skin. Combining it with rayon softens the fabric to the touch without detracting from its many great qualities. Rayon too is breathable and easy to care for. Linen gives it added durability and shape stability.
This knit is light and super airy, making it a perfect summer fabric – for example for a nightgown that lets you sleep well in hot weather, a loose tee, a simple dress, or loose pants for when the mercury rises.
If you’re dressing for a trip to a hot climate and want to cover arms and legs against the sun or mosquitoes, or in respect of local customs, linen knit provides great coverage without sacrificing comfort.
Thanks to its structure and hygienic qualities (linen has an antibacterial effect), this linen-rayon knit also makes a good underlayer in the wintertime. The loose knit provides air insulation and your undershirt can be worn on its own and in an overheated room.
Linen knits are great for tees, tanks, tunics, dresses, and all kinds of wrapped and layered styles. Clothes to make with linen jersey:
Wash this knit before cutting (linen and rayon both shrink) and place your pattern pieces carefully in order to make sure your finished garment holds its shape. The frustrating tendency of the seams on store-bought t-shirts to twist after washing comes down largely to sloppy pattern placement.
Wash this dyed linen-rayon knit at 40°C. Iron on the cotton setting; may also be steamed. Dry in a shady spot to prevent fading. If machine drying, use a short, gentle cycle.
Generally, pre-shrinking is needed for linen, cotton, and rayon, but for finer fabrics (light rayon, Tencel and modal) proceed with care – don't use hot water or a hot iron, simply launder the fabric the way you will be laundering the completed garment.
The fabrics in our core inventory, seasonal collections and limited editions are from repeated production cycles that we have quality-tested – given proper care their colors should not bleed. Fabrics that are on offer while supplies last are one-off products that have not been individually tested. For flax and wool, we recommend a sample test.
Yes. Like other natural materials linen can fade in the sun. Avoid hanging dyed linen to dry in the sun and do not hang dyed linen garments in places at home where there is direct sunlight either. For curtains and drapes, take into account that the color will fade over time or back them with a blackout fabric.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
The minimum fabric order is a length of 20 cm.
No. We only accept retail orders through the e-shop. This eliminates situations where someone else orders the last of an item while your order is still sitting in our inbox or lies jotted on a bit of paper by the phone. By purchasing online, you are putting an immediate hold on the product. Of course, you can always call or write to us if you need help making your selection.
Yes. We ship worldwide. The price of shipping is automatically calculated at checkout before payment after you select the country of delivery and the preferred carrier. If you do not find your country in the dropdown list, please contact us. You will find a rough overview of shipping costs in our shipping and payment terms.
The estimated delivery date with your selected carrier can be seen before payment is made at checkout. It is calculated as the time for processing and packing your order plus the time it takes the selected carrier to deliver to a specific destination – this can be from 2 days for delivery within the Czech Republic to a week for delivery outside the EU. Expect longer delivery times during big sales and holidays.
