A 280cm width gives this 100% linen fabric plenty of room for projects that need generous coverage. Woven in a plain construction, it can be used across clothing, bedding and home textiles while keeping the surface simple enough to work with a wide range of designs.
For garment making, the generous width can be useful when planning larger pattern pieces or projects that require more fabric across the cut layout. Dresses, shirts and other linen clothing can be planned around the fixed 280cm width, with the required length calculated before ordering.
The same width makes the fabric particularly suited to home textiles. It can be used for bedding, curtains, tablecloths, table runners, napkins and aprons, allowing you to plan each project around the finished dimensions rather than working with a narrower standard fabric width.
The fabric is sold by the metre, with 1 metre measuring 280cm wide by 100cm long. Two metres measure 280cm by 200cm, and longer quantities are supplied without cutting, giving you a continuous length for larger projects. This is especially useful when several sections need to be planned from the same piece of fabric.
The source information also describes the linen as quick-drying and breathable. For care, it can be hand washed or machine washed at a low temperature, with gentle or delicate cycles and mild detergent recommended. White, light and dark colours should be washed separately, and bleach should be avoided.

Styling Notes
For a linen dress or shirt: Plan the pattern around the generous 280cm width, particularly if the design includes wide panels or larger pattern pieces. Calculate the required length before ordering.
For bedding: Use the full fabric width when planning sheets or other bedding pieces, taking the finished dimensions and any necessary allowances into account.
For a tablecloth or table runner: Measure the tabletop first and decide how much overhang you want before calculating the fabric length. The wide 280cm format gives you more flexibility when planning larger table textiles.
For curtains: Start with the finished curtain width and drop, then calculate how many panels and how much length are required. The 280cm width can be incorporated into the panel layout depending on the dimensions of the window.
For coordinated home textiles: Plan napkins, table linens or aprons alongside a larger project so the same fabric can be used across several pieces.
