- Tencel Linen Fabric from Merchant & Mills
This is beautifully versatile cloth that works for so many patterns, it has a soft fluid drape with a matte finish. The small amount of linen gives the fabric more body and a slightly slubby finish. It also makes it easier to work with!
Suitable for dresses, tops, trousers and even lightweight jackets.
- 85% Tencel / 15% Linen
- 60" wide
- Made in Turkey, Oeko-Tex certified.
- There is 6% shrinkage with the first wash.
- Sold in 1/2 yard increments (for example: if you want 1.5 yds of fabric order a quantity of 3 and you will receive one cut piece of 1.5 yds total)
This fabric would make a great pair of Arenite Pants or a Shirt No. 1.
What is tencel? Tencel is made from wood pulp that’s harvested from tree farms that are sustainably managed and traceable. The fiber production itself is more eco-friendly than cotton production due to its’ closed-loop process. This means that up to 99% of the water and solvents used are recycled and reused.
Wash cool on a delicate cycle with non-bio detergent and a gentle spin. Do not tumble. Shake out and dry flat.
The surface texture of Tencel will go more chalky and less sheeny once washed and lived in.
Never dry linen in direct sunlight as the colour can bleach and fade.
If you can submerge the fabric in water before washing to prevent any white lines from appearing.
Add coordinating thread from Gutermann (Sew-All Polyester, 100m/110yds)
**Please note that once cut, fabric is non-returnable. Listing is for 1/2 yard increment. Order the amount you want cut in one piece.**
