LINON – Lightweight White European Linen Fabric
Origin: European Production | Width: Approx. 150 cm

Orders of more than one piece will be cut in one continuous length unless instructed otherwise.

Linen is often called the European version of silk — and LINON embodies that perfectly. It is a fine, softly woven linen, created from oxygen-bleached fibres, giving it a crisp white finish and a smooth, flowing texture once washed.

While the fabric is slightly stiff at first, a single wash transforms it into a soft, supple cloth that’s easy to work with and beautiful to wear. We recommend prewashing before sewing for the best results.

The Fabric

LINON is light and breathable, woven with delicacy but strong enough for daily wear. It’s not prewashed, so it will shrink and soften as expected after its first wash. At 125 g/m², it’s ideal for light garments and finer textile work.

The Environment

Flax is one of the most sustainable fibres available. It thrives in poor soil with minimal water, and every part of the plant is used — from textiles to linseed oil. Linen is fully biodegradable, renewable, and a beautiful example of low-impact textile production.

Health & Comfort

Linen is naturally antibacterial, breathable, and non-irritating. It’s particularly suited for sensitive skin, and perfect for anyone experiencing heat sensitivity or prone to skin flare-ups in warmer weather.

Care

Linen loves to be washed. Over time, it will soften, relax, and become more beautiful with every wear. Wash at 60–90°C, reduce spin, and hang to dry dripping wet. Avoid ironing — the creasing is part of its natural charm.
