From its early days, the fabric developed a following with apparel and home decor manufacturing customers, as well as retail fabric stores who loved the blended natural fiber combination of linen and cotton. It's the fabric you know and love, now available at Spoonflower with any of your favorite artist-made designs from our Marketplace.
