"The washed nature of the fabric makes it super easy to work with and wonderfully soft. The colour is rich and the drape divine. Thank you, Wild Linens!"
Jennifer
My go-to for linen fabric
"After years of searching for the right linen fabric — my search is over! The quality, texture and price are incredible. As a quilt designer and maker, I need beautiful linen that’s both soft and strong, and Wild Linens delivers exactly that."
Mercedes
The quality is exceptional
“I am absolutely delighted with the linen! The colour is wonderfully vibrant and exactly as portrayed on the website. I used it to trim curtains for one of my clients — the result is simply perfect and added a touch of elegance and charm.”
Dale
Really beautiful linen
“Great weight and super soft. I made it into a jacket and it was a joy to work with. Quick delivery and very helpful staff too.”
Lina
Gorgeous fabric!
“This was my first order from Wild Linens and I was impressed with the beautiful fabric. Soft yet strong, well woven and with the typical unique features of flax linen. I've already made another purchase for different colours and have plans to return for more.”
Luiza
Great range of colours
“I ordered samples as I wanted a summer-weight linen for a dress. The quality was perfect and the samples arrived quickly and efficiently. I had searched many online shops before finding this one — their linen is just right.”

Check Linen for Every Project
Bring sustainability, timeless elegance and luxurious softness into your next sewing project with our checked linen fabrics.
Our Checked Fabric Collection
From crisp gingham to generous windowpane designs, checks bring a sense of warmth and heritage that few patterns can match. Our checked Lithuanian linen fabrics sit as comfortably in a country kitchen as they do in a modern wardrobe, adding character to any interior space or handmade garment.
Expertly Crafted
Each of our check linen fabrics is expertly woven with the pattern running through the cloth itself, giving a depth and texture that printed checks simply can't match. Choose from Red Gingham, Navy Check and Fine Black & Natural Gingham. Washed and softened for a relaxed, elegant drape, these medium-weight checked linens are wonderful for curtains, table linens, cushions, bedding and dressmaking. If it's the classic two-tone check you're after, visit our dedicated gingham linen fabric collection.
Benefits of Linen
Linen has a rare talent for all seasons. Its breathable, moisture-wicking fibres keep you cool through the warmer months, while the same natural structure holds warmth when temperatures drop. Checked linen in particular rewards everyday use, its texture softening and its colours mellowing beautifully with every wash. Durable, tactile and endlessly versatile, it's a fabric your handmade pieces will live in for years.
Consciously-Sourced From Lithuania
Linen weaving is woven into Lithuania's own history, and our carefully chosen suppliers carry that heritage into every metre of cloth. All our checked linen fabrics are responsibly sourced and OEKO-TEX® certified, processed and dyed using planet-friendly substances that are kind to the skin. Flax also needs far less water to grow than cotton, making linen one of the most sustainable fabric choices available.
Placing an Order from Our UK Online Shop
Our striped linen fabrics are available to order by the metre and will be cut in one continuous length. Simply click ‘metre’ on the product page and then add the number of metres you wish to order. For example, to purchase a two-metre length of linen fabric, you would set the quantity to ‘2.’ All orders are cut and packaged by us and sent directly from our UK studio. The fabric is 145 cm (57″) wide.
Fabric Samples
We try to photograph all our linen products to be as true to colour as possible. However, please be aware that colours may show differently on screen. We would recommend ordering one of our linen fabric samples if you’re at all unsure, so that you can see the colour first-hand before purchasing your linen online.
