We are so excited to add Irish Linen to the Chilcott British woven fabrics collection, the Scottish Harris tweed has proven so popular that we thought we should add some crisp Irish Linen to our range.
Linen is a textile made from the fibres of the flax plant. Its credentials for being a sustainable fabric are incredibly good and hence why we are keen to add it to our story around British made natural fabrics. We believe linen compliments our 100% British wool blankets and Harris Tweed range.
We are delighted to source the linen from Baird McNutt who have a history of weaving and dyeing cloth since 1912.
We have chosen 8 colours from Navy Blue to Oyster Grey and lots of colours in between! Each lavender bag contains lavender grown on our farm, it is the Grosso variety which perfumers use for its heady fragrance, and it grows very well in Wales!
