Essex Speckle Yarn Dyed - Aqua

The Essex Speckle collection preserves all the qualities of Essex that you love, and adds a bit of fun! Multi-colored pops of color are woven in as mini slubs in the lovely cotton/linen yarn dyed base cloth. The result is a fabric that shows that you are the fun-loving type!

It's no secret that the Essex line of fabrics is a superstar in stashes around the world. A perfect blend of linen and cotton, Essex is the best of both worlds. Linen gives the fabric an incredibly tactile texture and drape, while the cotton stabilizes the linen - making it much easier to sew with - and balances the linen's drape with nice body. As a result, Essex is that rare hybrid fabric that works well for garment patterns that require either body or drape.

This is a simple weave, yarn dyed cotton/linen/polyester blend fabric.
