Merchant & Mills Mini Wham Linen

A touch of the 80’s, a bold check with a navy border. Pink orange and blue.

This linen is produced in small batches in Eastern Europe where there is a strong heritage of spinning and weaving linen fabric.

This can be used for many of our patterns, ideally dresses, and tops. Perfect for summer dresses like the Florence or Hattie.

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 fibres 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 say cotton.
