Cotton/Linen
Our natural luxury cotton linen is digitally printed an unbleached cotton linen base. It features a plain weave with a slub of linen to provide surface interest and character. As a medium heavyweight fabric, it is suitable for a wide range of soft furnishings such as cushions, curtains and lampshades.
It is digitally printed using water based pigment inks. This makes it ideal for applications that expose the fabric to direct sunlight as they are inherently UV resistant. The process also keeps minimums low are reduces wastage.
Although the fabric is unbleached, it is pre-treated to provide prints with excellent durability and wash fastness.
