IS010 OPTIC WHITE Softened - 54% Linen / 46% Cotton - Middle (6.2 oz/yd2)
Fluffy, dimensional, and simply a joy to live with - you’ll feel like a
sewing maestro when you pull this cloth out of its first dry cycle.
The cloth is Softened so we have added a softener to give it a silkier hand. The fabric has not been laundered so shrinkage will still have to be taken into consideration (shrinkage depends on fabric weave and laundering method).

Customer Questions and Answers
How do I love this fabric? Let me count the ways. It arrives large, flat and a bit stiff. This is a good time to cut and sew hems, if you are so inclined. One trip through the washer on cold, dry it on low.... but stop the dryer every 10 minutes to remove the lint (you can compost it).... and then the love story begins. This is such a wonderfully cuddly fabric!!!! I've bought it in several colors... it makes gloriously soft, textured, sophisticated looking throws (my adult binky!). It would make a spectacular blanket, duvet cover, bedspread, decorative pillow cover, and of course, towels of all sorts. The truly dedicated sewist could make a cuddly jacket from it. I'll be buying more of this fabric, it's that good, worth the initial expense... the joy of it will last. Highly recommended.
I purchased 2 yards and made a napping blanket for myself. I have found all commercial lap throws to be too short. I am not an accomplished seamstress, so hand seamed all four sides. I prewashed the fabric and it is wonderfully soft, like a cloud. I love this fabric. A robe may be next.
I ordered Optic White but received off white/ cream color. I need white and the pictures show real white. I called to ask about this. I was told they will call me back but I never received a call back.

Thank you for speaking with me regarding this matter.The samples have been sent out to you for comparison so we can make sure you receive the correct color.
Follows the instructions on the blog for towels but purchased enough to make more. Made 2 bath sheets, 2 hand towels and 4 facecloths. Very easy to sew. Loved how they looked after washing and drying. Bridal shower gift and the bride had requested waffle towels in white. I can't believe how soft they are!
The Best of Both Worlds
I first experienced the blend of cotton and linen in the 1970s, when I purchased weaving thread from Northern Europe. For a long time, it was impossible to get the cotton/linen blend in anything else. I absolutely love the cotton/linen bath fabrics. Soft, so as to not harm, but firm so as to exfoliate. This purchase was for a gift, as I have been using this fabric for many months personally. I love it. Just love it.
