What is Essex Linen? It is a beautiful fabric made from a cotton and linen blend. Making a beautiful drape and softness perfect for apparel, sewing, quilting, embroidery, upholstery and more! Baby Jesus was wrapped up in it after his birth. Linen is timeless. Robert Kaufman's collection of Essex linen/cotton blend is The SEE's favorite go-to fabric choice. It is stronger than quilting cotton, and so very soft. The more you wash it, the softer it gets. Essex is perfect for rugged jobs that require a gentle touch. Essex comes in a vast array of colors, textures, and even metallics. Grab yourself some, you will be jumping for joy when you use it. 

Facts from lovely Google:

Linen fabric is very durable. That's due to the strong natural flax fibers used to construct it. Linen also ages well, and in fact, gets softer even after it is cleaned repeatedly. While other fabrics show wear and tear after multiple uses, this isn't the case with linen. The more you use it and wash it, the softer it gets!

Benefits of a Cotton/Linen Blend:

• Improved softness and wearability if used for garments
• Less prone to creases and more supple
• Less costly than pure linen
  
• Combines the best of both linen and cotton
