Care Instructions

Wash

Always pretreat fabric before sewing to remove chemical sizing from the manufacturing process. Pre-washing also gives you a better sense of the true drape and handfeel of a fabric. We recommend washing and drying fabric in the same way you intend to wash your finished garment. Be sure to separate brights and colours, as some dyes and prints may run the first few times you wash them.

Long-Term Care

Wash in cool water on the delicate cycle, and line dry or tumble dry on low. Finished garments should be hand washed with cool water to ensure minimal shrinkage.

Fabric Tips

Use an extra sharp pair of shears or rotary cutter and pattern weights to cut your fabric. Use a medium iron when pressing.

Love It!

The first thing I thought when I took this fabric out of the box was, 'This is so soft!' Everything I've made out of this fabric has been so comfortable and I love how it drapes. I think this is my favorite fabrics I've gotten from Core so far.

Textured viscose linen

This fabric is everything that I always hope new linen will be. Beautiful drape, really soft, breathable, and super comfy texture. I used it to make a dress (along with the hemp buttons) and I know it’s going to be on repeat all summer.

This fabric is so beautiful, not sure why tarriffs still apply

I purchased a sample of this some time ago and finally found the perfect project for it- a commission to re-create a top for my elderly neighbor. She absolutely loved it. My only disappointment is that the tarriffs were deemed illegal by our Supreme Court, but Core still charges them. Even then, I’ll likely purchase this fabric again.

Thank you for your kind words and for choosing our fabric for such a thoughtful project! Please note that import duties are set by government authorities and applied to eligible products at the current legislated rates — these are costs we pass along directly, as required. We're so glad your neighbor loved the top, and we look forward to serving you again!

Favorite Fabric!

I've used Core Fabrics Textured Viscose Linen several times, and this won't be the last! Wonderful weighty drape. Great for pieces that benefit with movement (like flutter sleeves) It's a comfortable and pleasurable fabric to wear. Great for pants, skirts, dresses and tops.

Gorgeous fabric, superior quality and services

Every item I’ve purchased from Core Fabrics has far exceeded hopes and expectations. The fabrics are excellent in every way, and the notions I’ve purchased are all of highest quality. The textured viscose linen in particular has been lovely to work with. I’ve purchased the crimson and the cream for the Cielo top and dress, and I love the outcomes. I’ll be wearing these garments with comfort and pride for a long time to come.

I’ve also received a level of customer service I seldom experience with other vendors. Now if only Core would locate in my town (and country!). Thank you so much for your commitment to the highest standards imaginable.

Lovely Drape

This fabric is so nice - heavy and lift at the same time with a nice textured hand feel. It has a lot of give but not too stretchy. FYI - the white isn’t fully opaque.

Dreams do come true!

I have had this fabric in my fantasy shopping cart for months.
I have used this line of Viscose Linen several times and always delight when I find another pattern that calls for it's luscious weighty drape.
These will make a lovely pair of wide legged pants.

It's Lovely

The drape of this fabric is beautiful, and it has a sort of glow. Forest Green is a particularly soulful colorway. For some magical reason, Textured Viscose Linen feels cool to the touch, even in warm weather. Because it is so fluid, I always cut on the full flat, never on the fold. I also hand-baste everything before I sew because of the active drape.

I have used this for several Hinterland dresses with great success. When I made a three-tiered Priya dress, the fluid hand insured that the many gathers would fall gracefully. Each Neha top I have made with Textured Viscose Linen has had structure and grace. All the colors are lovely.

I got the cream viscose linen fabric to sew a dress and toddlers’ shirt. The fabric schrunk about 2-3” after washing which is not alot. It’s a super soft fabric and looks pretty! Would buy again!

Textured viscose linen

This fabric does not disappoint! It’s a soft drapery linen perfect for my project which requires a floaty fabric. Saturated colour and lovely hand. Can’t wait to get started.

Lovely

I have made several things with Textured Viscose Linen. I love the drape, the subtle texture, and the way it is actually cool to the touch in warm weather. Magic!

I chose Pearl Gray for a summer blouse constructed from the Neha pattern by I Think Sew. Because the fabric is so flexible, I never cut on the fold, preferring full piece patterns. It also helps to baste important constructions before sewing because the material can slide out of position if only pins are used. The extra time securing the fabric pays off.

It's a beautiful textile.

The fabric is lovely and my order was processed and shipped within a few days. But be aware, I had Fedex send me an invoice ,for I guess import duties, a few weeks later. It was about half of the total order. First time that happened to me and took me buy surprise. It would have been nice to get a heads up before ordering.

Love it!

This is my third time purchasing this gorgeous fabric. I don't think it would ever have been on my radar if it hadn't been recommended for the Closet Core Crew Jade pants. Now that I've used it, and love it, I look for other opportunities to use it! So far it's been wonderful for Palazzo pants, skirt, and now a shirt with drappy bell sleeves. It's a treat to wear, nice weight that only adds to its drappy goodness, and the linen texture is chef's kiss 💋. I've used Sage for the last two projects, and Natural (which I am very pleased to see is back in stock) I am eyeing up the Burnt Umber next!

Fabulous!

The hand of this fabric is absolutely wonderful.
I made a long sleeved shirt for my man and embroidered a large parrot on it. Embroidery went easily in its weave.

Just About Perfect

My excellent experience with Textured Viscose Linen in Moss prompted me to use this beautiful, cooperative fabric in other applications, other colors. It has the textured charm of linen while offering fluid drape that keeps garments from looking stiff and puffy. For some magical reason, Textured Viscose Linen is cool to the touch, even in warm weather.

This fabric requires close attention when cutting out a garment. The grain tends to slip and slide, getting out of square. That's the price of great drape! Instead of cutting on the fold and risking misalignment, I redraw the pattern into one piece that can be totally secured on the grain.
