Artistic white circles and squiggles dance on pale gray on a gorgeous light/mid-weight yarn dyed linen. Beautiful quality deadstock from Southern California designer Chalet et Céci has a subtle smooth matte hand, muted linen glow, 24½" repeat and light drape. Just right for a shirt, light jacket, vest, dress, skirt, loungewear or pants. Lovely quality, a beautiful basic linen which will work lined or unlined. If you are making an unlined jacket or coat, I recommend lining the sleeves to prevent wrinkling and allow other garments to slip on/off easily. If making structured pants, I'd underline the front to the knee to prevent wrinkling. My favorite lining for linen is a rayon bemberg or rayon blend.
Pre treat by hand laundering or machine wash gentle and air dry. You can toss linen in the dryer if you want all over wrinkles, but always pre test a sample, some fabrics respond well, others not so well. Test Test Test. After laundering hand wash or machine launder gentle and air dry. I like to take my linens out of the laundry while still very wet, hang on a hanger and pull and smooth the seams and hems, allowing the weight of the water to do the work, then touch up with an iron or not.
