Merchant & Mills Fabric : European Linen - Newton
European laundered linen, tumbled at the mill for softness and a super soft handle. A deep inky blue.
This slubby linen is made from special tow yarn which gives the cloth its nice raw textured appearance. It is the irregular character of the fibre that lends a lovely natural charm to this pure linen. It is produced in small batches in Eastern Europe where there is a strong heritage of spinning and weaving linen fabric.
Newton can be used in the home for loose covers, curtains, cushions, and light upholstery. It is also a great weight for trousers or light weight slouchy jackets.
This would work well for the Strides and Haremere coat and in our Workbook, or a sleeveless Trapeze dress.
We have 7 colours in this linen range, to see these please click on ‘alternative fabrics’.
