Knit Fabric
Think drapey, fluid and light with a little hint of sheer this gorgeous soft knit from Mind the Maker is made from 100% linen of the absolute finest quality. In a rich shade of sienna it has a semi-matte finish that you would typically expect from linen. It doesn't contain any elastane, so you get pure natural 100% linen. It is stretchy but as it has no elastane it is not elastic.
It is perfect for when you want something soft, breathable and easy to wear making it the perfect fabric for a casual top or blouse or a light dress.
We recommend gently prewashing your fabric in the same way you intend to wash your future garment, including drying as some shrinkage may occur. Wash light and bright colours separately as some colours may run.  A linen knit like this can tend to pull on the bias when you wash and work with it. It’s a really good idea to tack the fabric piece together before washing so that it does not skew in the machine (take it from someone who has learnt their lesson!) and make sure to dry it as flat as possible.  A quick spin in the dryer after drying it flat, really helps to soften the fibres. It’s a good idea to order a little extra in this fabric so that you have enough to straighten it after washing as it does skew a bit.
The flax fibres in this Linen Knit fabric have the European Flax certificate. This means that they are grown and produced in northern France, Belgium or the Netherlands, where the flax grows under optimal conditions, completely naturally and environmentally responsible.
