Description

A black and oat gingham, a smaller version of Merchant & Mills' Mrs Lewes linen. This linen is produced in small batches in Eastern Europe where there is a strong heritage of spinning and weaving linen fabric.

Joseph Gingham can be used for many of their patterns -- ideally dresses, tops, loose fitting trousers and even slouchy jackets.

Notes

Linen is naturally stain resistant, does not pile, and is moth repellent. It is easy to wash as it can sustain high temperatures, is has very little if no shrinkage and is very strong.

It is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, hypo allergenic and thermoregulating, it will also absorb up 20% moisture before feeling damp.

As the linen fibers have low elasticity (which causes it to crease) it will wear in any areas that are repeatedly folded in the same place for a long time, however it does have much better abrasion resistance than cotton.

Care Guide

Wash at 30 degrees with a non bio detergent. Do not tumble. Shake out and dry flat. Linen will always seize up after washing but as soon as you start to use/wear it the fibers relax again.

Never dry linen in direct sunlight as the color can bleach and fade.
