Merchant & Mills Garden Party Bitter Cocoa Linen/Cotton (per 1/2 M)

European laundered linen cotton blend, tumbled at the mill for softness. Brown and warm white. This fabric is yarn dyed, meaning the yarns are dyed before being woven.

This cloth is produced in small batches in Eastern Europe where there is a strong heritage of spinning and weaving linen fabric.

Garden Party is a dual-purpose cloth. You can use it for clothing like dresses, trousers or slouchy jackets, but we have also used it for homeware projects, and even upholstery for an occasional chair in our house. The gingham design lends itself well to tablecloths, napkins, tea towels and cushions. The cotton content gives in more stability than our 100% linen cloths.
