Essex Yarn Dyed Metallic | Robert Kaufman

  • Composition: 50% Linen 40% Cotton 10% Lurex
  • Width : 109 cm / 43"
  • Weight: 5.06 oz. - 170 GSM

    Quantity: 1 = 0.50 meter / 1 = 0.54 yard

    This fabric is appropriate for apparel, pants, button up shirts, quilting, embroidering and upholstery. 

    Plus, this Essex is extra special with a thin, metallic thread woven throughout the fabric. The fabric shimmers beautifully when the light hits the thread.

    We suggest pairing Essex with garment patterns that hang away from the body and maintain the garment's shape.

    Care instructions: Machine wash cold. Delicate cycle. No bleach. Wash dark colours separately. Tumble dry low.

    We recommend that you pre-wash your fabric the way you are going to wash 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.

    Owen ★★★★★

    The metallic lurex threads catch the light beautifully without being too flashy, and the linen-cotton base has a lovely crisp hand. It sewed up nicely on my machine with minimal fraying, perfect for a structured tote.

    Alexander Q. ★★★★★

    I’ve been sewing with linen-cotton blends for years, and this one with the subtle lurex shimmer is a nice upgrade for a summer dress. The 170 GSM weight is perfect—it’s substantial enough to hold shape without feeling heavy. The metallic threads are evenly spaced, so they catch the light without mak

    The metallic threads catch the light just enough to add subtle shimmer without being too flashy. This fabric held up nicely when I pre-washed it for my shirting project, and the drape is perfect. Exactly what I needed for a dressier summer top.
