Care Instructions

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Remove promptly to reduce wrinkles and press with a warm steam iron while slightly damp if needed.

Note: Linen fibres may shrink slightly after the first wash. We recommend pre-washing your fabric using the same method you plan to use for your finished garment.

Due to the different color variations of each monitor and mobile device, we cannot guarantee the color will exactly match what you see online.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Daniel Z. ★★★★★

The weave has a lovely crisp hand that softened up nicely after the first wash without losing its shape. I used it for a set of kitchen curtains and the light linen-cotton blend lets just the right amount of sun through.

Olivia ★★★★★

Finally, a gingham that actually feels like fabric instead of cardboard—the linen-cotton blend gives it a soft, breathable hand that’s perfect for summer shirts. The yarn-dyed check pattern is sharp and even, and it pressed up beautifully for a tailored dress.

Ryan C. ★★★★★

The weave on this gingham is tight and even, making it a breeze to cut and sew without fraying. I used it for a summer shirt, and the 55/45 linen-cotton blend feels crisp but not scratchy.
