This wide width transparent linen is extremely soft! The weft contains soft alpaca merino thread in a loose float stitch, creating a special handcrafted stripe design. The mottled base gives the decorative thread a particularly radiant elegance when combined with nuanced colours. Its constructive clarity makes the fabric a homage to landscape gardener Joseph Paxton, who developed the Crystal Palace – a glass palace with a cast-iron frame, standing at 564 metres long and 39 metres tall.
