Linen Fabrics - natural quality for every occasion

High-Quality and Durable Linen Fabrics by Myllymuksut

The popularity of linen textiles is based on a material that naturally excels in various uses. Its natural origin makes it an ecological and sustainable material, suitable for everything from summer dresses to home interior textiles.

Ecologically, linen is one of the best natural materials available. The plant requires very little water, grows without large amounts of fertilizer, and the entire fiber can be utilized. Our collection features several different qualities, each suited for different purposes.

Linen Knit and Linen Waffle

Timeless linen knits and linen jerseys are versatile options for many sewing projects. Linen knit and linen waffle are summer essentials—stretchy options perfect for soft, airy garments:

• Tops and T-shirts
• Cardigans
• Scarves and ponchos
• Linen waffle bathrobes and towels

Ramie – A Thick, Sturdy, and Timeless Linen Quality

When you need a fabric with more structure, try Ramie! This quality is opaque and has a slightly firmer feel. Our stonewashed linen (ramie) has been a top favorite year after year for projects such as:

• Jackets
• Trousers
• Cushion covers and structured interior textiles

Light Linens – A Breath of Natural Beauty

The mélange-style Oscar is a beautiful, light, and airy linen quality. In mélange fabrics, the warp and weft threads have slightly different shades, giving the linen a vibrant, textured surface. Our most popular quality for clothing is Ester, a solid-colored linen. These qualities are ideal for:

• Summer dresses and tunics
• Loose linen trousers
• Shirts and kaftans
• Home decor, such as curtains

Patterned and Striped Linen Fabrics

Our patterned linen fabrics are perfect for both interior design and apparel. Printed and digital print linens bring a personal touch to clothes and home textiles. The striped Nordica linen is a consistently timeless choice. In addition to clothing, use patterned linens for:

• Linen tote bags and pouches
• Tablecloths and table runners
• Cushion covers

Caring for Linen Fabric

Linen is an easy-care material when handled correctly. Remove stains while they are fresh and let the air do the work: linen dries quickly and smooths out during use.

• Wash at 40–60°C, do not use bleach.
• Wash in a loosely packed machine to keep the linen naturally smoother.
• Use a light spin cycle only; hang to dry on a line or a hanger.
• Tumble drying is not recommended for linen.
• Iron while slightly damp on the reverse side.

Should I wash linen fabrics before sewing?

Linen is a natural material that typically shrinks in the wash. The amount of shrinkage varies by fabric type but is generally 5–10% during the first wash. We recommend washing your linen fabric before cutting.

Tips for Sewing Linen

• Use Universal needles (size 60–80, depending on fabric thickness).
• Linen frays easily; edges should be finished with a serger (overlocker).
• We recommend using fusible interfacing for necklines and facings.
• A Prym mini iron is a handy companion during various sewing stages.
• Note: Patterns designed for jersey/knit fabrics are not suitable for non-stretch woven linen.
