Robert Kaufman | Essex Yarn Dyed | Peacock

Robert Kaufman Essex Yarn Dyed – Peacock by Robert Kaufman Fabrics is a high-quality linen-cotton blend fabric made from 55% linen and 45% cotton. It combines the natural texture of linen with the pleasant feel of cotton – and thanks to the yarn-dyed shot technique, it shimmers with a fascinating two-tone effect depending on the light.

You can use it to sew airy summer dresses, casual blouses and shirts, well-fitting trousers, or light jackets for transitional weather. It's also wonderfully suitable for home textiles like cushions or table runners – anywhere fabric and color should make an impression together.

The fabric feels pleasantly firm without appearing stiff. The slight texture gives it character, and the medium drape ensures that cuts retain their shape while still appearing flowing. The iridescent effect is created directly in the yarn – this means the color is deeply embedded in the fabric and looks different from every side. This makes it a real eye-catcher, even without elaborate patterns.
