A beautifully textured linen-look fabric from the Joyford range, combining the natural, rustic appearance of linen with the practicality and durability of polyester.
The woven surface has visible slubs and subtle variations running through it, creating that characteristic linen-style texture and giving the fabric far more depth than a completely smooth plain weave.
It has a firm, substantial handle with plenty of structure rather than a soft flowing drape, making it particularly useful for home furnishings, bags, accessories and projects where you want the finished piece to hold its shape.
Available in six colourways ranging from versatile neutrals to vibrant Cerise, this is a brilliant practical fabric for coordinating interiors and structured sewing projects.

New To Faux Linen?
Faux linen is designed to recreate the textured appearance of natural linen using other fibres – in this case, 100% polyester.
The visible slubs and textured woven surface give it that characteristic linen look, but polyester makes the fabric durable, practical and generally easier to care for than natural linen.
This particular faux linen has a firmer, more structured handle rather than the soft drape of lightweight clothing linen, making it particularly suited to furnishings, bags and projects where some body is useful.
