Linen fabrics, a millennia-old textile with multiple virtues, appeal to sewing, upholstery, and fashion lovers for their natural look, lightness, and durability. Highly prized for its breathability and durability, linen is a timeless material that spans generations while adapting to contemporary trends.
At Verotex, we offer you a wide range of linen fabrics by the meter or in pieces, available in many colors to bring all your creative projects to life. Whether you are a sewing enthusiast or a professional, this fabric will accompany you in your finest creations.
What is linen fabric?
A natural textile with ancient origins
Unlike the origin of jeans, closely linked to the industrial world and manual labor of the 19th century, that of linen fabric dates back to Antiquity. Derived from the stalks of the flax plant, linen is a plant-based textile fiber. Ecological by nature, it requires little water and no pesticides for its cultivation, making it a material particularly respectful of the environment.
Its natural composition in cellulose (like paper) gives it unique properties:
- High wear resistance
- Soft and fresh touch
- Excellent absorption capacity
- Chic natural crumpled look
Certified Oeko Tex, our linen is guaranteed free from harmful substances for the skin and the environment.
A carefully woven material
Linen fabric is generally woven from 100% natural fibers, but it can also be blended with synthetic fibers, such as elastane, to provide more flexibility and stretch depending on the final use.
Why choose linen for your sewing projects?
