Fermette Organic Cotton/Linen
$69.00$52.00European laundered linen and organic cotton blend, tumbled at the mill for softness. A chalky apricot.
A great match for all of our patterns, dresses, tops and loose fitting trousers.
This item has been discounted as we are concerned with the bobbling that is occurring after washing. The mill have confirmed that this is happening due to the recycled content in the fabric – recycled fibres have a short staple length. So please note your cloth may bobble after a couple of washes, this can be de bobbled just like a wool and should settle down.
