قماش كتان غير مغسول زيتون مارتيني 215 جم/م²

The fabric has a lovely crisp hand right out of the package, and I appreciate the natural slubs that make it feel truly artisanal. After a cold wash and dry it softened up nicely, though I did account for the 6-8% shrinkage when cutting my pattern. Perfect weight for a summer shirt.

Those natural slubs give it such an earthy, textured look that I ended up leaving it unwashed to keep that crisp feel. It's surprisingly hefty at 215 gsm, so it hangs nicely for the curtains I'm making. Just remember it'll shrink 6-8% once you finally wash it.

I pre-washed this before sewing and it shrank right around the 7% mark, so the 6-8% estimate was spot on. The slubs give it a really natural, earthy texture that plain linen just doesn't have. It started out crisp but softened up beautifully after the first wash.
