Look no further – the linen of your dreams is here. With an exceptional drape, hand, texture and weave, it’s destined to be your new favourite everyday, every-way fabric. Our range of midweight linen is produced in Europe using European flax fibres and we’re thrilled to include it in our Core Collection of quality textiles. It features a versatile midweight that works equally well for soft, casual looks and more tailored applications and has been pre-softened/washed so it’s incredibly soft off the roll - it will only get better with age and wear*. While it holds a crisp edge when pressed, it also has a deliciously springy drape and a pronounced, slightly rustic weave.
Linen is naturally resilient, breathable, hypo-allergenic, anti-bacterial, and durable. It is incredibly easy to sew with and care for, not to mention delightful to wear due to its thermoregulating properties, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. This linen will work for a wide variety of garments from tops, button-downs, dresses and jumpsuits to casual jackets and relaxed trousers. Fully opaque, it does not require a lining.
*To provide you with the most accurate fabric description, we ran a test wash and are happy to report that we didn’t experience any colour bleeding or fading and that the fabric got even softer to the touch after only washing it once. Please scroll to the last picture to see the unpressed laundered linen! We love the inherent natural creases and crumples; they are what give linen its relaxed, soft feel.

The hibiscus color is beautiful. The fabric is easy to work with. I'm sure I'll be getting this again.

I love this fabric! I made the Periwinkle Shirt. I found I had to use a water spray bottle to iron as the steam in my iron wasn't enough.

Lovely fabric.

The fabric arrived quickly. It is a really nice deep brown colour. I found some difficulty cutting curves with it as it shifted around quite a bit. However, it was very easy to sew with. I made a pair of pleated pants with it, and they turned out fantastic.

I bought this lovely fabric to make into an Olya Shirt as a gift for a friend. It looks even better in real life! The green is so deep and lovely. The fabric is magical to sew, drapes amazingly with slight structure. I'm tempted to buy more just for myself!

Beautiful deep colors and a lovely mid-weight. I’m starting with the olive this week ❤️. It’s such a treat to work with such wonderful quality fabric.

Core Fabrics’ Midweight European linen is one of my favorite fabrics. I have used it for pants, tops, and linen napkins. It washes well and stays on grain. The off-white color leans slightly yellow but otherwise, a true off-white.

Gorgeous colour and high quality fabric. Exceeded my expectations!

The dark hunter green colour is gorgeous. Its a dupe for notperfect linen’s juniper green! Gorgeous linen and nice to work with. Will be buying more in the future.

The off- white is a lovely almost cream, antique white colour. It is quite opaque with low transparency. If you like working with linen, you’ll love this stuff. Use with lightweight interfacing! Not midweight.

Although I personally dislike sewing with or wearing linen, I purchased this because linen is known to be very good in warmer weather. I am using it for a pair of Jigsaw Pants and I can tell that the result will be beautiful. The colour and handfeel of this fabric is lovely, even if it isn’t what I would usually use.
S
Lovely coral colour & lovely texture. Washes beautifully. 2nd time I've purchased from this collection. Won't be the last though, I'm sure.

Linen is superb. Beautiful to sew. 5 stars

I love this linen, I ordered 3 different colors of it this year. It washes up beautifully and holds its color. Linen fabric is the best for warm summer weather and I am looking forward to making garments that will help me stay cool this summer and fall!

The fabric is beautiful, very nice weight. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but I’ve made several garments with Core Fabrics Midweight linen and have been very pleased. The caramel color is perfect.

Beautiful linen. Perfect weight for the Fiore skirt I made. Thanks.

Couleur riche, tissu solide et souple à la fois. Juste parfait.
