An 85% linen, 15% ramie blend fabric in clean White, woven in an open-textured plain weave. The warp uses 14s linen yarn, while the weft alternates between 14s linen and a thinner ramie yarn. This intentional difference in yarn size creates a delicate weft-side horizontal stripe alongside a very subtle, natural wrinkle effect across the fabric face.
Weighing 165 g/sqm (4.86 oz/sqyd), it belongs to the light-to-medium weight category, offering an airy drape with a semi-sheer quality against backlighting. Pre-washed to break in the blended natural bast fibers, it delivers a soft, pliable hand straight from the bolt and minimizes future shrinkage. It is suited for relaxed button-down shirts, summer tunics, lightweight lined dresses, semi-sheer window drapery, and textured table runners.

Natural Bast Fiber Blend (85% Linen, 15% Ramie): High breathability, moisture absorption, and the cooling drape characteristic of linen and ramie.
Yarn-Size Variation Weft Stripe: Alternating 14s linen and fine ramie weft yarns form faint horizontal striping and dimensional texture.
Gentle Wrinkle Effect: Tension differences between the varied yarn thicknesses create a subtle, relaxed surface texture.
