Linen fabrics are made from 100% flax fibres. The threads of the fabric will vary in thickness, and slubs may occur - these are a naturally occurring feature and can add to the charm of a stitched piece.
The linens offered are all 'evenweave' in that they have the same number of threads per inch in the warp (lengthwise) and weft (cross-wise - selvage to selvage) directions.
Linen fabrics dye beautiful, and the higher counts will have more colour intensity that lower thread count linens dyed using the same dye formulation.
The majority of linen fabrics are 140cm (55") wide on the bolt, so a fat quarter will measure 70 x 50cm (27.5" x 19.7"). Bristol linen is 150cm wide on the bolt, and Kingston linen is 180cm wide on the bolt, so cuts of these fabrics will be proportionately larger.
