Essex Yarn Dyed Metallic - Jet

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. The addition of a Lurex yarn in the metallic line adds a lovely bit of sparkle to these fabrics - perfect for an extra bit of glamour!
