Light Grey Linen-Look Fabric | Textielstad

Discover our lovely light grey linen-look fabric, a versatile and timeless addition to your fabric collection. Woven with two yarn colours, white and light grey, it has a subtle marl effect and the lively texture associated with real linen. Although it has the appearance of linen, it is made from 100% polyester, with a weight of 165 g/m² and a width of 140 cm. That means you get the look of linen together with the easy-care qualities and crease resistance of a modern fibre. It is a great choice for many sewing projects and makes an excellent dressmaking fabric.

Your summer wardrobe starts here

This fabric is easy to sew, whether you are just starting out or have plenty of experience. The plain weave gives you a stable, non-stretch fabric, which makes cutting and sewing more straightforward. One of the main advantages of this linen-look fabric is that it creases far less than traditional linen and holds its shape beautifully. For best results, use a universal needle and polyester thread in a matching shade. It works especially well for garments that need a soft but structured drape.

Let it inspire your next make: a breezy blouse for the office, comfortable trousers for everyday wear, an elegant skirt with movement, or a summer dress. It is also a smart choice for Bermuda shorts or even a practical yet stylish apron. The neutral light grey colour is easy to pair and gives every design a refined finish.
