Pure linen fabric which is not pre-softened, in a slightly greyish light sky blue colour. This fabric has some body and drape, but the handle is definitely on the stiff side (not fluid, like well-softened linen can be). It is not particularly smooth but is not scratchy, either - I find it to be comfortable against the skin. Like most linen, this fabric should gradually soften up more with repeated washing. The yarns are slightly thicker than average and are tightly woven. Fabric is pretty much opaque on the skin. Suitable for tops, shirts, pants, shorts, or bags and crafts. Not recommended for blouses, dresses, or skirts in its current state, unless you specifically want a more stiff, structured effect.
