Merchant & Mills : Stepney Laundered Upholstery Linen : 420gsm
Upholstery weight laundered linen, with industry rated rub tests.
This linen is produced in small batches in Eastern Europe where there is a strong heritage of spinning and weaving linen fabric.
Stepney 420 is a grey green Oeko-Tex certified fabric that can be used in the home for loose covers, curtains, cushions, and upholstery.
Although this is Merchant & Mills heaviest linen it is still soft and malleable so would work well for jackets and coats like the Strand, Foreman, or even a sleeveless Trapeze.

Fabric Care : If you are pre-washing, we recommend that you overlock all edges of this cloth beforehand to prevent fraying.
Wash at 30 degrees with a non bio detergent. Do not tumble. Shake out and dry flat. Linen will always seize up after washing but as soon as you start to use/wear it the fibres relax again.
Fabric is priced per metre. 1 metre = 39 inches. Minimum cut is .5 metres for specialty fabrics.
