The Linen Quest is finally back! A little while ago I promised to provide a better comparison of colour so here's a little peek into my notebook. The white background should give a better comparison.
Ok, so working down each page:
1. This swatch is from a remnant I picked up a few years ago from Ewan Gardams which has since closed down and I was never able to find the same linen there again so I haven't reviewed it and not sure how helpful a review of it would be anyway. However, if I find something similar then I will.
2. Thea & Sami reviewed here.
3. Duckcloth - review from a fellow blogger coming soon! If you're in Australia and you want the superbuzzy linen (medium weight) I would suggest getting this one instead. It's the same colour and weight.
4. Sckafs - review coming soon!
5. Tessuti (white) - review coming soon!
6. Quilt Fabric Delights reviewed here.
7. Tessuti (fawn) - review coming soon!
8. Superbuzzy reviewed here.
9. Kelani reviewed here.
10. Duckcloth hemp - review coming soon! I'll also be reviewing the Duckcloth organic cottons.
If there is a linen listed here that you are desperate to hear more about leave a comment and I'll review it first.

Great Rebecca! I am looking for Linen voile would you have come across something like that in your study?;)
Hearty thanks to you for all your starlet researchings!
thanks rebecca for all yr hard work, hoping to use this in the future when i do some Zakka craft
Amazing - those samples are all so gorgeous!
Thanks everyone.
Sandrine, I haven't come across linen voile but if I do I'll let you know. You could try tessuti.com.au as they have a great range of beautiful fabric.
this is a great help! thanks!!!
incase you were wondering gardems hasn't closed down, its moved to indooroopilly.
also i think there is one in toowoomba.
Thanks Peta, I had no idea! I clearly need to get out into the burbs more :)
Good article! I love it. Linen is my favorite fabric, it is natural and i like to wear environment friendly clothes.
Perfect! I love linens and have wondered about the differences. I'm curious about the linen/cotton from Ink and Spindle http://shop.inkandspindle.com.au/products/natural-unbleached-linen-cotton
Have you tried it at all?
Thank you so much Michelle, I didn't realise they were selling this. I will definitely be buying some. It looks lovely!
WHAAAAAT!
Ewan Gardams has closed down?! i had no idea...although, i haven't been into the city for yonks!
that's so sad....i always loved seeing their window displays.
...oh well.
:(
Linen has got to be my favorite texture. And this roundup makes me really happy.
