Alta Mare Linen by Merchant and Mills

European laundered linen, tumbled at the mill for softness. A deep green blue.

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.

100% Linen

Width: 143 cm / 56 inches
Weight: 185gsm

Care: Wash at 30 degrees with a non-bio detergent. Do not tumble. Shake out and dry flat. Dark colours may bleed initially, so wash separately. Linen will always seize up after washing but as soon as you start to use/wear it the fibres relax again. If you are using this linen for curtains we recommend using a lining to prevent fading. Never dry linen in direct sunlight as the colour can bleach and fade.
