Double Wide Linen Fabric

What Is Double Wide Linen Fabric?

Double wide linen fabric typically measures between 108 to 120 inches wide—twice the width of standard fabrics. This extra width makes it ideal for applications that require a continuous, unbroken panel of fabric, such as draperies, tablecloths, duvet covers, and even fashion-forward silhouettes.

Unlike narrow fabrics that must be seamed or joined for wide applications, extra wide linen fabric by the yard allows for seamless finishes, creating a more refined and professional result. The fabric retains all the characteristics of classic linen—its textured weave, breathable comfort, and eco-conscious origin—just on a larger scale.

Why Choose Extra Wide Linen?

There are countless reasons why designers and DIYers opt for extra wide linen fabric. For one, it dramatically reduces the number of seams needed in larger projects, which saves both time and effort during the sewing process. It also creates a more fluid, uninterrupted finish, particularly important in home décor applications like draperies, table skirts, or bed linens where clean lines and continuous drape matter.

In fashion, extra wide fabric by the yard gives creators the ability to cut voluminous patterns without interruption. Think oversized shirts, billowing skirts, caftans, or gathered maxi dresses—all with fewer joins and more design freedom. Furthermore, double wide linen often comes in a slightly looser weave, offering extra breathability and softness—perfect for both summer garments and comfortable interiors.

Perfect Applications for Double Wide Linen Fabric

One of the standout features of double wide linen is its versatility. In home décor, it shines in floor-to-ceiling curtains, custom bedding, large-scale upholstery, and table linens. The wide width means fewer panels, less sewing, and a smoother, more elegant final product.

In fashion, wide linen fabric opens the door to voluminous designs without visible joins. Maxi dresses, circle skirts, robes, tunics, and oversized button-ups are easy to cut from a single piece, giving them a cleaner look and stronger structure. You can also use wide linen for robes, layering pieces, or minimalistic pieces that prioritize drape and flow. It's also ideal for event décor—think table runners, backdrops, chair covers, or tent drapes that benefit from both linen's organic charm and its generous width.

Sustainability of Wide Linen Fabrics

Like all linen, double wide linen fabric is derived from flax—a plant that requires very little water, no harsh chemicals, and grows naturally in cooler climates. It's one of the most sustainable natural fibers in the world, and its long lifecycle and biodegradability make it a top choice for eco-conscious creators. Mood Fabrics prioritizes sourcing fabrics from mills that follow responsible environmental practices. 

Many of our extra wide linen fabrics come with OEKO-TEX® or similar certifications, ensuring they're free from harmful substances and safe for both you and the environment. Choosing wide linen fabric also contributes to sustainability by reducing fabric waste. With fewer seams and less piecing, you can make better use of each yard, minimizing offcuts and maximizing efficiency.
