Pure Hand Woven Linen Fabric
Linen woven on the handloom, with the natural slub and character no power loom gives.
What Is Hand Woven Linen Fabric?
Hand woven linen is pure linen woven on a handloom rather than a power loom, which gives the cloth a natural slub, a softer irregular texture and a character that varies slightly from length to length. Fabloom weaves it at its own unit in Bhagalpur and supplies it by the metre from 50 metres per colour, natural or dyed to shade.

What the handloom adds
On a handloom every pick is beaten in by the weaver rather than a machine, so the cloth carries small variations in density and a natural slub. That is the texture buyers of hand woven linen are looking for, and it is why no two lengths are exactly alike.
Hand woven linen breathes like any pure linen, softens beautifully with washing, and makes garments and sarees with a quiet, crafted look that sells on its own story.
For artisan and slow-fashion collections
Designers use hand woven linen for kurtas, sarees, stoles, jackets and limited collections where the provenance of the cloth matters. It can be dyed, block printed or hand painted in house at Fabloom.
Best Used For
- Kurtas and tunics
- Sarees and stoles
- Jackets and co-ord sets
- Artisan and slow-fashion collections
- Cushion covers
- Export collections
Care
Linen can be machine washed on a gentle cycle in cool water, or hand washed, with a mild detergent and no bleach. Allow for some shrinkage on the first wash, or ask for a washed finish. Iron while slightly damp on a medium-hot setting. Linen softens with every wash.
Before You Order
Ask for a physical swatch before a bulk order, especially when an exact shade or hand matters. Hand woven cloth and dye lots both vary slightly, and that is a property of the fabric rather than a defect.
Ready stock is dispatched within 2 to 5 working days of order confirmation; custom dyeing and weaving take longer and the lead time is confirmed on the order.
Hand Woven Linen Fabric: Questions & Answers
What buyers ask most often, answered by our team at the mill.
What is the difference between hand woven and power loom linen?
Hand woven linen is woven on a handloom by a weaver, which gives it a natural slub, slight irregularity and a softer texture. Power loom linen is woven by machine and is more uniform. Both are pure linen; the handloom adds character.
Are slubs in hand woven linen a defect?
No. Slubs and small variations in texture are inherent to hand woven linen and are what distinguish it from machine-woven cloth. Genuine faults, such as a running weaving fault or a hole, are replaced when reported within 48 hours of delivery.
Can hand woven linen be dyed to a custom colour?
Yes. Fabloom dyes hand woven linen in its own unit in Bhagalpur, to a shade reference, against the 50-metre minimum per colour.
Does Fabloom manufacture the fabric itself?
Yes. Fabloom weaves, dyes, prints and finishes in its own unit at Mohiuddin Pur, Bhagalpur, Bihar. There is no trading middleman between the loom and the order, which is why custom shades and prints can be run against a single buyer's specification.
Can I order a swatch before placing a bulk order?
Yes. Request a physical swatch through the enquiry form before committing to a bulk order. This is strongly recommended when an exact shade matters, because screen colour and dye lots both vary and a small difference between the photograph and the delivered cloth is normal for hand-dyed fabric.
Does Fabloom ship across India?
Yes. Fabloom dispatches to every pincode its courier partners serve, across all Indian states. Ready stock normally leaves the unit within 2 to 5 working days of order confirmation; custom dyeing, printing or weaving takes longer and the lead time is confirmed on the order.
