Linen is practically perfect in every way – it breathes, wicks away moisture, dries quickly, washes easily, and can be ironed. Its sole drawback is that it can feel a bit course against sensitive skin. Combining it with rayon softens the fabric to the touch without detracting from its many great qualities. Rayon too is breathable and easy to care for. Linen gives it added durability and shape stability.
This knit is light and super airy, making it a perfect summer fabric – for example for a nightgown that lets you sleep well in hot weather, a loose tee, a simple dress, or loose pants for when the mercury rises.
If you’re dressing for a trip to a hot climate and want to cover arms and legs against the sun or mosquitoes, or in respect of local customs, linen knit provides great coverage without sacrificing comfort.
Thanks to its structure and hygienic qualities (linen has an antibacterial effect), this linen-rayon knit also makes a good underlayer in the wintertime. The loose knit provides air insulation and your undershirt can be worn on its own and in an overheated room.
Linen knits are great for tees, tanks, tunics, dresses, and all kinds of wrapped and layered styles. Clothes to make with linen jersey:
Wash this knit before cutting (linen and rayon both shrink) and place your pattern pieces carefully in order to make sure your finished garment holds its shape. The frustrating tendency of the seams on store-bought t-shirts to twist after washing comes down largely to sloppy pattern placement.
Wash this dyed linen-rayon knit at 40°C. Iron on the cotton setting; may also be steamed. Dry in a shady spot to prevent fading. If machine drying, use a short, gentle cycle.
A good linen dress is a summer must-have. Cool, airy, casual, and chic. Here’s how to draft a pattern and sew a linen wrap dress of your own design.
