What is linen cotton mix fabric?
A linen cotton blend typically consists of around 55% linen and 45% cotton. Linen provides breathability, temperature regulation and a natural look, while cotton adds softness and shape retention. The result is a comfortable, smooth fabric with fewer wrinkles than pure linen – but with the same fresh and airy appearance.
