Fabric Description
The Essex Yarn Dyed Classic Wovens by Robert Kaufman is a refined woven fabric made from a luxurious blend of linen and cotton. It features yarn-dyed stripes for a rich, textured appearance that showcases the woven construction and subtle colour interplay. It offers a medium-to-substantial drape while remaining breathable and comfortable.
The stripes provide classic design appeal — suitable for both modern and timeless applications. The linen-cotton blend gives you the crisp linen look and feel plus the soft hand of cotton — ideal for projects that require structure with a relaxed finish. The fabric is part of the “Classic Wovens” collection, meaning it has the quality and finish expected by quilters, garment makers, and sewing enthusiasts looking for something elevated.
What You Can Sew With It
This fabric is versatile and well-suited for many sewing projects:
-
Stylish summer garments: think tailored shirts/blouses, relaxed dresses, lightweight jackets or vests where the linen texture adds sophistication.
-
Accessories: tote bags, satchels, structured pouches, wide-brim hats — the fabric weight and texture work well to give good form.
-
Home décor items: cushion covers, table runners, placemats, drapes or roman shades where the striped pattern adds visual interest without being overly bold.
-
Quilting & patchwork: though heavier than basic quilting cotton, this fabric can be used for quilt backs, accent panels, or full quilt tops when you want a premium look with structure.
-
Mixed-media projects: pair it with solid linens or other textures to create contrast in garments or décor.
Because it holds shape nicely but still drapes, it’s a great option when you want something elevated beyond standard cotton, but still comfortable and wearable.
Care instructions: To maintain the quality and appearance of this linen-cotton blend fabric, it is best to wash it in cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle and use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, and do not overload the washing machine to prevent creasing or distortion of the weave. After washing, reshape while damp and either line-dry or tumble dry on low. If ironing is required, press on the wrong side with a steam iron while the fabric is still slightly damp for best results. Because linen tends to have a natural texture and may soften over time, gentle handling will ensure your final project stays crisp and beautiful. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when storing or displaying items made from the fabric, and consider a pre-wash if you anticipate shrinkage (though the blend and finish help minimize this).
We recommend that you pre-wash your fabric the way you are going to wash your finished garment.

We strive for excellence in our products and customer service, but some imperfections may occur with fabric.
Please note that stains, holes, or blemishes within 3 inches (10 cm) of the edge are considered acceptable.

Stains on the inside of the fabric are also acceptable if they do not appear on the right side.
Please be aware that fabric may shrink after the first wash, so we recommend purchasing slightly more than the exact length required for your project.
