Linen-Merino Wool Spandex Stretch Fabric, 38" Wide, 260 GSM (2-Way Stretch)
$27.51Excl. T.V.A.
Description
A considered Linen–Merino wool stretch suiting with the character of natural fibers and the wearability of performance stretch. At 260 GSM, this sits in the solid mid-to-upper midweight range—substantial enough for tailored garments while remaining flexible and comfortable. The linen lends a cool, dry surface, the wool adds warmth and recovery, and a small amount of spandex provides controlled elasticity. The result is a fabric that feels refined, modern, and garment-ready: classic in hand, contemporary in function.
2) How It’s Made
This fabric is woven in a balanced suiting structure (assumed), with linen and wool blended in the yarn and a small percentage of spandex integrated into the weft for true 2-way stretch. The cloth is finished with a clean, apparel-appropriate treatment that refines the hand without masking the natural texture of linen or the softness of wool. The stretch is engineered through yarn composition rather than surface coating, giving a more durable, comfortable recovery.

4) Handfeel & Drape
Cool and dry from the linen, with gentle warmth and resilience from the wool. The hand is polished rather than rustic, and the spandex gives a smooth, comfortable give without feeling elasticated. The drape is structured but mobile—ideal for tailored silhouettes that need movement, comfort, and shape retention.
