185 Linen in Milk by Merchant & Mills

European laundered linen, tumbled at the mill for softness. Off white, more warm than Virgin white.

The 185 dressweight linen is our go-to linen for all dress making and is what we use for many of our samples. It is a great match for all of our patterns, dresses, tops and loose fitting trousers. 

This linen also works well for lighter curtains for a casual, less refined look. 

It is produced in small batches in Eastern Europe where there is a strong heritage of spinning and weaving linen fabric. Our 185 linen collection is woven in a mill run on green energy and is Oeko-Tex certified.
