Essex Yarn Dyed Striped Linen Cotton Fabric

The Essex Yarn Dyed Classic Wovens by Robert Kaufman combine the natural texture of linen with the versatility of cotton in a timeless striped woven fabric. Available in Black and Chambray, these classic stripes are an excellent choice for garment sewing, quilting, accessories and home décor.

Made from 55% linen and 45% cotton, this fabric has the characteristic texture and natural appearance of linen balanced by the practicality of cotton. At approximately 190 gsm, it offers enough body for garments that benefit from some structure while remaining versatile for a wide range of sewing projects.

The stripes are yarn dyed, meaning the yarns are colored before the fabric is woven rather than the design being printed onto the surface. This creates a distinctive woven appearance with beautiful depth and texture.

Perfect for Apparel, Quilting & Home Décor

The classic striped design makes this linen cotton fabric particularly versatile for garment sewing. Play with the direction of the stripes on pockets, collars, cuffs, yokes and other details to add visual interest to your handmade garments.

Recommended projects include:

• Button-up shirts and blouses
• Dresses and skirts
• Loose-fitting pants and shorts
• Lightweight jackets and overshirts
• Aprons
• Tote bags and accessories
• Quilting and patchwork
• Cushion covers
• Table linens
• Home décor projects

A Versatile Linen Cotton Blend

The combination of linen and cotton makes Essex Yarn Dyed a beautiful choice for sewists looking for natural fibers with visible woven texture. The striped design works equally well in modern, casual and classic sewing projects.

For garment sewing, we recommend pre-washing the fabric before cutting using the same washing method you intend to use for the finished garment.
