Why shop Ada & Ina linen fabrics?

It’s simple - because we’ve sourced the finest linen fabrics from the finest textile mills from across the world. They’re made to the highest quality using natural fibres only. Unlike synthetic fabrics like viscose that require the use of harsh chemicals, linen is made from the fibres of the flax plant, which is a renewable resource. Our linen fabrics have a beautiful texture which looks its best in sunlight, and come in a range of styles including plain, patterned, pre-washed, striped and sheer.

Our linen fabrics also happen to be eco-friendly. We use pigment printing for our patterned linen fabrics. This form of printing doesn't require steaming or washing, dramatically reducing power and water consumption and its overall environmental impact. Additionally, the inks we use are OEKO-TEX® certified, which means they comply with ecological standards and do not contain any harmful substances.

We recommend you order free fabric samples when selecting linen fabric for your curtains, blinds, upholstery, or next crafts and dressmaking project. We also offer large fabric samples. We'll deliver up to 5 samples free of charge so you can test their weight, get a feel for their texture, and see their true colour before making your decision.

Tips for ordering linen fabric

1. If you’re ordering linen fabric for soft furnishings or upholstery, please make sure you take correct measurements or ask your curtain maker or upholsterer to calculate how much fabric is needed. The width and size of the pattern repeat (for patterned linen fabrics only) can be viewed in the linen fabric details. It's important to know exactly how much fabric you will need.

2. When choosing linen fabric for upholstery, loose covers, or soft furnishings for your home, please remember that the linen fabric will appear darker in larger areas.

3. You can use all of our linen fabrics for clothes, curtains or blinds – unless stated otherwise. For upholstery or loose covers that require heavier and more hard-wearing fabric, please use our filter to view our range of heavyweight linen fabrics.

4. Remember to order your free fabric samples. The photos on our website are a close representation of the colours, but different screen settings makes it impossible for the colours to be perfectly replicated.

5. Please bear in mind that our linen fabrics are 100% natural and haven't been treated. If you are looking to make sofa covers or if your curtains are for windows that are south facing then you will need to apply UV fabric protection to prevent fading.

FAQs

What is linen fabric?

Linen is a type of fabric made from the fibres of the flax plant. It has a distinctive and beautiful texture, and is often considered to be a fabric of luxury, elegance, and comfort. Because it’s made from natural fibres it is hypoallergenic and skin-friendly. Linen also happens to be a very strong fabric. It can withstand repeated washings, and this durability makes it the perfect choice for bedding, blinds, and curtains (linen curtains can keep your house warm in the winter and cool in the summer). Lastly, linen is a versatile fabric – it can be used for a variety of sewing projects including dressmaking, soft furnishings, and more. If you’re interested in working with linen, order free samples and see if their colour, weight, and quality suits your needs.

How do I order linen fabric from Ada & Ina?

Use our left-hand filter menu to narrow your search. For example, if you click ‘Material’ you can find different types of linen material including pure linen, cotton linen blends, linen mix fabrics, pre-washed, and more. Alternatively, you can shop by ‘Usage’ and find fabrics for curtains or blinds, or fabrics on sale. We suggest you spend a while examining our linens and that you order free fabric swatches before deciding on the fabric for your project.

How do I care for linen material?

Wondering how to wash and care for linen material? If you have any of our plain and unprinted linen fabric, you can wash it in the washing machine (just keep in mind that if the linen is not pre-washed, it will shrink in the first wash). For our printed linen fabrics, we recommend you take it to the dry cleaners (we use Timpsons). This is to ensure the prints do not fade. If you’re unable to take the printed fabric to the dry cleaners, then we recommend you gently hand wash it in a clean sink or basin. Alternatively, if there are no visible stains, you can give the fabric a simple dusting or gentle hoovering. If you have lined linen curtains, we recommend you take them to the dry cleaners, since the linings may otherwise shrink.

Oeko-Tex Certified Linen Fabrics

Ada & Ina's Oeko-Tex linen fabrics have been tested for harmful substances. What's more, other materials and non-textile accessories - such as sewing threads, linings, prints, buttons, zip fasteners, rivets - comply with the required criteria. You can rest assured our fabrics are free from harmful chemicals.
