A perfect example of a rayon blend fabric is rayon/linen. It’s not surprising to see these two fibers brought together in one substrate. Like rayon, linen has a long history.

It’s considered the oldest natural fiber, made from the stem of the flax plant, dating back to 8000 BC.

Many of the characteristics of linen are similar to those of rayon. It's comfortable to wear - especially in warm weather, allows good airflow, is absorbent, dyes well, is resistant to moths, and is static-free. On the flip side, it also ravels quickly, shrinks, and wrinkles easily too.

Linen is available in a variety of weights and blends. When you picture linen, you most likely think of basic colors that preserve the natural fiber content.

After pressing, if you see a shine on the fabric, you probably have melted the rayon fibers slightly. Always test the heat of your iron on a scarp first.

Press along the grain line of the fabric in even strokes up and down or side to side.

However, linen is available in many color options, printed versions (like our sample), even embroidered choices.

Some say the biggest challenge in working with linen is determining the appropriate weight for Suede Fabric the project.
