Linen is a textile made from the fibres of the flax plant. The fiber is very strong, absorbent and dries faster than cotton. Garments made of linen are valued for their exceptional coolness and freshness in hot and humid weather.

Linen Blends are usually +-50% linen blended with cotton or hemp.

Linen Yarn is a loose woven linen usually blended with cotton 

Linen is pre-washed but always hand wash in cold water in a mild detergent and dry flat or on a hanger. Do not tumble dry. 100% Linen wrinkles very easily and requires ironing inside out, the more prominent a blend is the less ironing is required.

Rayon is a manufactured fibre made from regenerated cellulose fibre. The many types and grades of rayon can imitate the feel and texture of natural fibres. Since rayon is manufactured from naturally occurring polymers, it is not considered to be synthetic. 

Rayon Twill has a textured feel opposed to a soft finish 

Hand wash in cold with mild detergent. Dry flat or on a hanger.When laundered, it may bleed, shrink, or lose its crispness so avoid washing machines and tumble driers.

Challis, sometimes referred to as challie] or chally, is a lightweight woven fabric, originally a silk-and-wool blend, which can also be made from a single fibre, such as cotton, silk or wool,[3] or from man-made fabrics such as rayon. Challis can be made with woven designs, or printed. 'French challis' has a glossy finish and designs are often floral, paisley or geometric.

Twill is a type of textile with a pattern of diagonal parallel ribs, always having a textured finish apposed to a plain, satin or smooth finish. Twill Fabric is crafted using a technique that involves the weft yarns wrapping around at least two warp yarns at a time in a unidirectional pattern, creating the diagonal lines in the design.

Rayon Twill Fabric is marked by its distinct diagonal pattern. Rayon Twill Fabric is heavier and more structured than other Rayon materials. These qualities give it the remarkable durability characteristic of Twill Fabric. 

For best care we recommend cold gentle hand wash with like garments with a gentle detergent, wash inside out to protect textures. Dry flat or on hanger. Warm iron on reverse side. 

Crepe is usually a lightweight plain weave fabric with a crinkle, crimped or grained surface. 

Versatile and synthetic making it perfect for traveling as it doesn't crease easily and washes and dries well. 

Easily transitions from day to night.

Crepe is machine washable and won't shrink but always best to hand wash designer garments. 

Chiffon is a lightweight, balanced plain cover sheer fabric, or gauze, woven of alternate S and Z twist crepe (high-twist) yarns. The twist in the crepe yarns puckers the fabric slightly in both directions after weaving, giving it some stretch and a slightly rough feel.

Early chiffon was made purely from silk. However, nylon and polyester chiffon is more popular and affordable and readily available today. 

Always hand wash in cold water with a a very mild liquid detergent and dry flat or on a hanger. Do not iron, instead slightly steam or don't have a steamer or time? Simply hang in the bathroom and the steam removes wrinkles. 

Satin is a synthetic weave that typically has a glossy surface and a dull back

Wool melton is a thick, dense fabric with a soft brushed surface. This felted and brushed fabric is smooth and flat to the touch. Wool melton is tightly woven and the weave is not highly visible to the naked eye because of the felting process. Wool melton fabric is rarely made of 100% wool fibres. This substrate is often blended with rayon, polyester or acrylic. 

Melton is a delicate fabric that requires a few extra precautions. Never machine wash your wool melton garments. Instead, dry clean them or carefully hand wash them in cold water with a gentle soap. But since wool melton is most often sewn up into outerwear, the fabric needs be cleaned rarely. Always use your wool (or a medium/cool) setting on your iron when pressing wool. 

Acetate Lining is silky smooth and strikingly sleek. Acetate fabrics are made from man-made fibers and are meant to look like silk, but do not contain the same texture or sensation as silk fabrics. They are water-resistant, shrink-resistant, and do not wrinkle easily. Acetate linings breathe well and conduct no static electricity. 

Jersey is a knit fabric used predominantly for clothing manufacture. It was originally made of wool, but is now made of wool, cotton, and synthetic fibres.

The fabric can be a very stretchy single knit, usually light-weight, jersey with one flat side and one piled side. When made with a lightweight yarn, this is the fabric most often used to make T-shirts. Or it can be a double knitted jersey (interlock jersey), with less stretch, that creates a heavier fabric of two single jerseys knitted together to leave the two flat sides on the outsides of the fabric, with the piles in the middle. Interlock jersey is sometimes used as a knit as well. Jersey is considered to be an excellent fabric for drapery, such as dresses, and women's tops.

Melange refers to the fibre blending and spinning technique, respectively, during yarn manufacturing. 

Yarn is a continuous length of interlocked fibres that's then woven or knitted into fabrics. 

Melange yarn is produced by blending raw and dyed fibres. 

Satin is a weave that typically has a glossy surface and a dull back, one of three fundamental types of textile weaves along with plain weave and twill. The satin weave is characterised by four or more fill or weft yarns floating over a warp yarn, four warp yarns floating over a single weft yarn.

Different types of satins

Charmeuse is a lightweight, draping satin-weave fabric with a dull reverse.

Duchesse Satin is a particularly luxurious, heavy, stiff satin.

Double Faced Satin is woven with a glossy surface on both sides. It is possible for both sides to have a different pattern, albeit using the same colours.

Poly Satin is an abbreviated term for polyester satin.

‘Mesh’ itself refers to a knitted structure of fibres, and is technically a barrier created from connected strands. The yarns are knitted or woven together, resulting in a fabric with open spaces in between the strands of yarn. Mesh isn’t only used for fashion fabrics, and can be made from a huge range of materials depending on its intended use – it isn’t limited to fabrics for textiles.
