Find the Right Linen, Hemp or Ramie

Start from the fiber, filter by weight, use and weave — then compare.

Three Bast Fibers

Flax Linen, Hemp Fabric or Ramie Fabric?

All three are bast fibers from plant stems and are often all sold as “linen” — but they spin, feel and price differently. Switch the layer to follow each one from plant to cloth; hover a column or a row to compare.

Choose by Composition

Linen Cotton Fabric, Pure Linen, Hemp or Ramie?

Each fiber mix trades hand feel, price and wrinkle behaviour differently — blending cotton into linen or ramie is the usual way to soften and lower cost. Pick two to overlay them on the chart.

Relative scores for comparison — please confirm.

Choose by Weight

Lightweight, Medium or Heavyweight Linen?

Linen weight decides drape, opacity and durability. Hover a column to hold it against the light — the lighter the fabric, the more you see through it.

110–160 gsm

Lightweight

Airy, slightly sheer, drapes close to the body. Wrinkles most — often enzyme-washed for softness.

  • Shirts, blouses, summer dresses
  • Sheer curtains, scarves
  • Linings for summer jackets
Specify: opacity / lining need
160–220 gsm

Medium

The all-rounder: enough body for trousers and bedding, still breathable. The most ordered linen weight.

  • Trousers, dresses, overshirts
  • Bedding, duvet covers, table linen
  • Lined curtains
Specify: shrinkage after wash
220–320 gsm

Heavyweight

Dense, structured, hard-wearing. Often hemp canvas or linen-cotton; opaque without lining.

  • Upholstery, cushions
  • Jackets, workwear, aprons
  • Tote bags, crafts
Specify: abrasion (Martindale)
Choose by Weave & Surface

Plain, Slub, Herringbone, Textured or Stone Washed Linen Fabric

The same fiber looks completely different depending on yarn and weave. Move over a tile to look through the loupe.

PlainClean, even surface; the base for shirts, bedding and prints.
SlubNatural thick-and-thin yarn; the classic “real linen” look. Slub level is agreed on a reference swatch.
HerringboneBroken-twill zigzag; more body for jackets, upholstery and table runners.
Textured & yarn-dyed stripeBasket, dobby and woven stripes for home textiles and resort wear.
Stone washedTumbled with stones or enzymes for a soft, lived-in hand and pre-shrunk stability.
Piece-dyed solidDyed after weaving; any Pantone, with shade bands per dye lot.

Solve Your End Use

What to choose for clothing, home and commercial projects — and what to avoid.

Apparel Solutions

Linen Fabrics for Clothing

Garment buyers usually ask us two things: which composition stops the garment from wrinkling too much, and which weight keeps it from being see-through. Choose a garment.

Fsp-Linen-S-Stack
Apparel · Shirts

Linen Shirts

Shirts are worn next to the skin and washed often — a soft wash and a written shrinkage limit matter more than the exact weight.

CompositionLinen, ramie or blends
Weight110–150 gsm
FinishEnzyme / soft wash
Shrink≤ 3% after wash
✓ CHOOSE
  • 100% linen 110–150 gsm, enzyme washed
  • Linen-cotton 55/45 for less wrinkling
  • Ramie or linen-ramie for crisp, lustrous summer shirts
  • Yarn-dyed stripes and chambray looks
✕ AVOID
  • Under 110 gsm in white — see-through
  • Linen-polyester — feels synthetic on skin
  • Unsoftened ramie or hemp at the collar — prickles

FAQ

Wholesale Linen Fabric FAQ

The questions buyers ask before their first order.

Order

What is the MOQ for wholesale linen fabric?

5,000 meters or 500 kg per order, which can be split across colors of the same article. Stock bases can be dyed in smaller color lots — ask for the list.

What is the lead time?

20–35 days after sample approval for bulk. Stone-washed and yarn-dyed articles sit at the longer end.

How is the linen fabric price calculated?

Linen fabric price is quoted per meter and depends mainly on flax content and yarn count, weight, width, dyeing (piece-dyed vs yarn-dyed), washing and quantity per color. Pure flax linen costs the most; hemp sits close to linen; ramie and ramie-cotton cost less for a similar look.

Is linen cotton fabric better than pure linen?

For most repeat programs, yes: linen cotton fabric (55/45 or 30/70) wrinkles less, feels softer, shrinks less and costs less, while keeping the linen look. Choose pure linen when maximum breathability and a premium story matter more than easy care.

Hemp & ramie

What is ramie fabric?

Ramie is a bast fiber from the stem of Boehmeria nivea, a nettle grown mainly in China. Ramie fabric is light, crisp and naturally lustrous, very strong and cool to wear, but stiff and prone to sharp creases — so it is often blended with cotton (ramie cotton fabric) or linen.

Ramie vs linen — what is the difference?

In ramie vs linen, ramie has longer, whiter fibers with more luster and usually costs less; flax linen is softer, less prickly and drapes better. Linen-ramie blends give a linen look at a lower price.

Hemp vs linen — which should I choose?

For hemp vs linen: hemp is stronger, more abrasion-resistant and matte, ideal for bags, canvas and workwear; linen is finer and smoother for shirts and bedding. Hemp cotton fabric is the softest hemp option for garments.

Do you supply organic hemp fabric?

Organic hemp fabric can be supplied with a transaction certificate when the fiber is certified. OCS certificates are available.

Samples & color

Are samples free?

Swatches of existing articles are free; you pay the courier. Hand-loom samples for new constructions are free too — you only pay the courier.

Can you match my Pantone color?

Yes — we send a lab dip within 5–7 days. Linen takes dye less evenly than cotton, so we approve a shade band (light / standard / dark) for every lot.

Are slubs a defect?

Natural slubs are part of linen. We agree a slub reference swatch before bulk; only slubs outside that level, knots and broken ends are counted as defects.

Custom & shipping

Can you make wide linen for bedding and curtains?

Yes, 280–320 cm on wide looms for sheets, duvet covers, tablecloths and curtains. Please confirm max width

How are the rolls packed?

Rolled on paper tubes, poly bag inside, woven bag outside; each roll labelled with article, lot, shade and meters. Roll length varies with width, weight and composition.

Do you ship mixed articles in one container?

Yes. Different linen articles and colors can be loaded together once the total meets the MOQ.
