Colour:

100% Linen - Soft Wash Cotton Candy is just as its name suggests, a fabulous cool and breathable linen fabric, woven with soft pink linen yarns the colour of sweet cotton candy treats throughout the warp and weft.

Properties:

Linen has been used for centuries because of its beneficial properties: cool and breathable, getting softer with washing & wear, and linen is impervious to moths and resists dirt and stains. Linen will not form lint or pill and can be washed at high temperatures with only moderate shrinkage.

The characteristic slubs (viewed as a fault once upon a time) are now part of the aesthetic appeal of quality linen fabric. It is stable, soft and has the feel of a favourite linen garment with a pre-washed hand. This medium-lightweight fabric is closely woven and has good opacity.

Garment Suggestions:

Cotton Candy will form crisp details (with a little light interfacing), on collars, cuffs and waistbands. Used in quantity it will form soft and full feminine gathers, with a reassuring drape, plus neat pleats, and pin-tucks. So all you have to do is decide what to make. 

The Layer Up Collection by Sew Different is ideal for creating a capsule wardrobe of fresh spring-summer linen and ( linen blend) makes you will want to take through into autumn. 

Soft, breathable and comfortable you will want to make a wardrobe full of key pieces for a superb, summer linen look. Its medium weight and soft drape make it the ideal candidate for a plethora of uses from the stylish to the practical. Add some smocking details to the finely gathered bodice of a pretty dress for an on-trend boho / prairie style Megan Nielson Protea Capsule Collection is an ideal place to start for these soft gathered styles.

Put Cotton Candy to use for simple boat-necked tops and classic shirts, it's also perfect for creating layering garments such as vest tops, drapey tunics and pinafore dresses.
