A substantial, highly textured textile woven in an artisanal slub dobby weave. Engineered with a pure linen warp and an intricate weft of linen blended with a twisted cotton-rayon yarn, this fabric features an authentic, dimensional crosshatch texture with remarkable surface depth.
Weighing 260 g/sqm (7.67 oz/sqyd), it sits in a balanced medium-to-heavy weight category. The linen provides an earthy, rustic hand and exceptional breathability, while the twisted cotton-rayon weft introduces structural stability, subtle body, and a softened hand. Finished with a pre-wash treatment, it achieves a relaxed, slightly softened touch directly off the bolt without sacrificing its robust, tailored drape.
Key Features

Complex Multi-Fiber Blend: 77% Linen, 12% Cotton, and 11% Rayon offer natural flax breathability balanced by cotton stability and gentle rayon drape.
-
Twisted-Yarn Weft Construction: Alternating linen and twisted cotton-rayon weft yarns generate organic, high-relief slub dimension across the surface.

Subtle Dobby Architecture: Geometric slub weave creates tactile interest and a rich, artisanal character.
