Colour:

Milky Mocha is just as its name suggests a fabulously soft, cool, breathable linen fabric, woven in a classic twill with superfine soft milky mocha beige yarns setting the warp and natural white linen throughout the weft. The combination creates a fabulous warm neutral tone with a sketchy melange effect as pleasing as your favourite frothy mocha beverage. The reverse side of the fabric displays a more uniform mocha tone (with fewer natural slubs) and the twill diagonals are more visible.

Properties:

Linen has been used for centuries because of its beneficial properties; cool and breathable, gets 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 (once viewed as a fault) 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:

Milky Mocha 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.
