HEAVY LINEN / CANVAS LOOK FABRIC – 142cm WIDE

A substantial woven fabric with the look and character of a heavy linen or canvas, featuring a beautifully mottled green colour created by contrasting threads woven through the fabric.

Rather than being a completely flat solid colour, the different coloured threads give the surface real depth and a softly textured, almost shot effect. From a distance it reads as a warm earthy green, while up close you can see the individual green and warm brown/rust tones within the weave.

At approximately 307gsm, this is a heavyweight fabric with plenty of substance and structure, making it particularly suited to projects where you want the fabric to hold its shape.

Please note: the exact fibre composition of this fabric is unknown.
