Slub Linen Fabric
Nature — What Is Slub Linen Fabric?
Slub Linen is linen fabric made using slub yarns (slub = yarn with intentional thick and thin irregularities).
The uneven yarn thickness creates a naturally textured, organic surface.
Scientific Structure (Explained Clearly)
Slub yarns are produced by varying the tension during spinning, forming thicker segments along the yarn length. In linen, this enhances its rustic aesthetic.
