I’ve been in and out of mills for years, and to be honest, linen keeps sneaking back to the top of my sourcing list. This white, OEKO-certified curtain and gauze-grade sheer ticks the boxes brands keep asking for: low-impact fiber, cool handfeel, and that lived-in look people actually want on a sofa or a summer shirt. Origin-wise, it ships from Room 201, Yijiang Building, Zhonghua Street 485, Shijiazhuang City—small detail, big clue: traceable logistics, straightforward support.
Design teams want breathable, natural textures that still pass hospitality-grade tests. This 280 cm width shear/curtain base is practical—fewer seams, better drape, cleaner installs. Many customers say it steams out wrinkles fast and softens after the first wash. In real-world builds, I’ve seen it used for cafe curtains, canopy bedding, lightweight slipcovers, and conservative resort uniforms (yes, really).
| Composition | 100% linen (flax fiber) |
| Width | 280 cm (≈110") for seamless curtains and bedding panels |
| Construction/Style | Linen gauze / linen sheer; plain weave |
| Basis weight | ≈ 110–180 gsm (real-world batches may vary by shade/finish) |
| Finish | Bleached white; soft-wash optional |
| Certification | OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (article-level) |
| Shrinkage (AATCC TM135) | ≈ 2–4% after pre-wash; advise cutting allowance |
| Care | Cold–warm wash; low tumble; steam press |
Advantages include low-impact flax cultivation, strong wet strength, and that unmistakable linen slub. Actually, the 280 cm width is the hero—workrooms finish faster, and seams disappear.
Materials: certified flax fiber → spinning (wet-spun for finesse) → weaving (plain/gauze) → scour/bleach → soft-wash → inspection → roll packing. Methods lean on low-impact finishes and OEKO-restricted chemistry. Testing: ISO 105-C06 wash fastness target ≥ 4 grade; ISO 12947 Martindale (heavier lots) ≈ 15k–20k cycles; ASTM D5034 grab strength tuned for sheers; AATCC TM135 dimensional stability. Service life: 3–5 years in home use; hospitality varies with turnover.

Dye-to-match, optical/OB-free whites, soft-wash or stonewash, flame-retardant finishing on request (check regional compliance), and cut-length service for smaller workrooms. For apparel, pre-wash and calendar for a smoother hand; for drapery, keep it open for the breezy fall.
