RILEY BLAKE - Fairfax Solid - Linen - Natural

Cut through a linen-cotton sheet in half the time with my rotary cutter—the weave is tight but still breathable when held up to light.

I’ve been sewing with this linen-cotton blend for a week now, and it breathes beautifully while holding its shape through pre-wash. The 55/45 fiber mix gives it just enough structure without feeling stiff.

The hand feel is what sold me—it's genuinely breathable but has enough weight to drape nicely, not flimsy at all. That 55/45 linen-cotton split is the sweet spot, and it held up beautifully through a pre-wash without excessive wrinkling. I'm already planning a second cut for a summer top.
