During the warmer months it’s all about the Aeolian, but come winter my love for the Linden runs deep.  It probably goes without saying… I’m very fond of a raglan sleeve.

This is Linden number five (see one, two, three & four) and, in my books, the fabric is rather unique.  The bolt was labelled –  slubby organic 100 % cotton.  I love the texture, I adore the colour and it has a really nice weight which gives warmth but it still has some drape.  I took advantage of a 25% off floor stock sale at Rathdowne Fabrics a few weeks ago and I brought enough for two tops.  Yes, you’ll be seeing this fabric again!
