Merchant & Mills : Earthenware Linen/Cotton
A sludgy combination of brown and navy. Note this is a linen and cotton blend. We’d choose something with little detailing like the Florence or Edie to make the most of the large check. If you are using this linen for curtains we recommend using a lining to prevent fading.
This linen blend is produced in small batches in Eastern Europe where there is a strong heritage of spinning and weaving linen fabric. Made using AZO-free dyes.
