Properties:
This fabric has all the benefits of both linen and cotton! With the stability and durability of linen and the gentle soft handle of cotton, the high thread count Oxford weave creates a lightweight, sturdy hand with a reassuring drape quality when used at length. The fibres and the weave form a slightly textured yet still soft, lightweight, stable fabric which will allow for neat tucks, pleats and other fine details, as well as gentle feminine gathers.
The close weave of zingy orange-red and white together resembles a finely sewn running stitch appearance (horizontal). An additional bonus feature of a vertical 2.5cm border sits on one selvedge, allowing for your own creative expression and unique projects.
