Pure Linen

Choose 140 to 150 GSM for shirting, dresses and light summer garments, and 200 GSM and above for trousers, jackets, upholstery and furnishing. GSM measures grams per square metre, so a higher number means a heavier, more opaque and more structured cloth. Fabloom runs linen from roughly 90 to 220 GSM.

Pure linen creases readily, and that is a property of the flax fibre rather than a fault. The crease softens with each wash as the fibre relaxes. If a crisper finish is needed, ask about a linen blend or an enzyme-washed finish when you enquire.

Khadi linen is linen hand-spun and hand-woven on a traditional loom rather than a power loom, which gives it an irregular slub and a softer, more breathable hand. Fabloom weaves khadi linen in its Bhagalpur unit, typically undyed or in natural and ecru shades.

Expect roughly 3 to 5 per cent shrinkage on the first wash for unwashed pure linen. Pre-wash the fabric before cutting, or add that allowance to the pattern. Shrinkage figures quoted on product pages are nominal and subject to normal mill tolerance.

The minimum order is 50 metres per design and colour on woven fabric, because a shorter length cannot be cut from the loom lot. Printed fabric is a different case: block print and digital print are both applied to cloth that is already woven, so they are supplied from 5 metres.

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.

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.
