Unwashed Eucalyptus Linen Fabric 185 g/sq.m

I was nervous about the 6-8% shrinkage, but after a cold wash and dry, the hand-feel is still beautifully crisp with that lovely eucalyptus texture. The printed details stayed sharp and the drape is perfect for my curtain panels.

The print quality on this linen is gorgeous, way more detailed than I expected for the price. I sewed it into curtains and the 185 g/sq.m weight hangs beautifully without being stiff. Just remember it's unwashed, so my panels did shrink about 7% after the first wash — glad I measured generously.

I pre-washed a swatch before cutting and it shrank right around 7%, so definitely factor that in before you sew. The printed pattern has a lovely hand to it and takes topstitching without puckering. Already ordered two more metres for curtains.
