This heavyweight linen wool fabric features a diamond twill weave, inspired by textiles from the Viking Age.
Woven with undyed natural linen (9s yarn) in the warp and wool (7nm) in the weft, it has a dense, structured body and a soft handfeel thanks to pre-washing.
Ideal for historical reenactment, cloaks, outerwear, or rustic interior projects, it balances durability with authenticity.

Would this fabric be appropriate for an upholstered dining chair or would it likely pill?
To be honest, both linen and wool naturally tend to pill over time, especially on a high-friction surface like a dining chair.
While the fabric is strong enough for upholstery, if you are very worried about pilling, a linen-wool blend might not be the best choice for this specific project.
What would you recommend for washing (especially pre washing) this fabric? I am planning a 30 degree gentle wash with wool detergent and hang dry. Any suggestions?
Gentle handwash in cold water would be best. Dry cleaning is also okay.
If you want to use a washing machine, please use a gentle cycle.
Line dry would be okay
