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.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, linen is a popular choice for curtains thanks to its natural texture, soft drape and timeless look.

  • Yes, our coloured linen fabrics are midweight and will allow light to filter through. They provide privacy while still letting daylight into the room, creating a soft, natural atmosphere. For spaces where you’d prefer more light control or reduced glare, we recommend adding a lining or backing.

  • Our coloured linen fabrics are midweight, offering a beautiful balance of softness and structure for curtains. This weight allows the fabric to drape naturally while still feeling substantial, making it ideal for light-filtering curtains. Adding a lining can increase privacy, improve insulation, and help protect the linen from sun exposure.

  • As a natural fibre, linen can shrink slightly when washed for the first time. Our linens are stonewashed during production to reduce shrinkage, meaning any change is usually minimal. Washing gently and avoiding high heat will help maintain the size and drape of your curtains.

  • Pre-washing is a personal choice. Because our linen is stonewashed, many people choose not to pre-wash curtain fabric, particularly when curtains will be lined and washed infrequently. If you plan to wash your curtains regularly or prefer extra reassurance, a gentle pre-wash can offer peace of mind.

  • Yes, we generally recommend lining or backing linen curtains. A lining helps block out more light, improves insulation, and protects the linen from prolonged sun exposure, which can cause fading over time. Lined curtains also hang more smoothly and tend to hold their shape better.

  • Linen naturally has a relaxed, lived-in texture, and gentle creasing is part of its character. Once hung, linen curtains tend to soften and settle beautifully.

  • Our linen fabrics are typically woven at approximately 145 cm (57 inches) wide. This makes them suitable for curtain panels, though we recommend checking your measurements carefully and allowing extra width for fullness and hems.
