A yarn-dyed madras plaid combining vibrant colorwork with thoughtful yarn construction. Intersecting lively tones of turquoise, magenta, marigold yellow, and deep purple, this fabric pairs an expressive palette with an open, airy weave.
Weighing 143 g/sqm (4.22 oz/sqyd), it is an easy lightweight fabric woven at a low density for clear breathability in warm weather. The warp combines pure linen with a linen yarn twisted alongside an ultra-fine polyester thread, giving the fabric a distinctively cool, crisp hand. In the weft, high-twist linen yarns produce a relaxed, natural wrinkle texture while lending the rigid weave a subtle, mechanical natural stretch for added ease in movement. Finished with a pre-wash, it balances its dry, structured touch with everyday softness.
