Robert Kaufman | Essex Yarn Dyed | Jungle

The Essex Yarn Dyed Jungle by Robert Kaufman is a high-quality linen-cotton blend with a pleasant, natural character. The blend of 55% linen and 45% cotton combines the lively texture of linen with the soft hand of cotton. The Jungle shade offers a rich, earthy green that appears particularly deep and uniform thanks to the yarn-dyed technique.

You can use it to sew casual summer shirts, airy blouses, loose trousers, or wide skirts – anywhere you want a fabric that drapes well and doesn't feel stiff. It's also excellent for bags, cushions, or light jackets.

The fabric has the typical slightly coarse, natural feel of linen, which becomes noticeably softer and more supple due to the cotton content. It's easy to work with, gives sewing projects structure without being stiff, and becomes more pleasant against the skin with every wash. The yarn-dyed coloring creates a lively, slightly mottled look with real depth.
