Liberty + Linen

Did you know that one of my biggest quilty regrets is not getting ADDICTED into Liberty while in Japan? Mercifully, I did buy Hello Kitty Liberty relatively regularly, but I most certainly did not do the Japanese Liberty supply justice whilst living there. And boy oh boy have I made up for that now…

One of my favourite happy mail moments each month is when I receive the latest Love Liberty Club bundles from The Strawberry Thief. And this week, I had a super bonus extra happy mail day when I discovered a big fat package in my letter box full of their latest product range – a luscious rainbow of 22 linens.

Made from 100% linen and weighing 165 grams per metre, it’s super soft and light weight, and comes in sooo many colours (for comparison, Essex linen is 55% linen, 45% cotton and weighs 158 grams per square yard). Other than cutting little swatches to keep forever/share with local fellow Liberty lovers, I already have an idea in mind for what I’ll use some of these for…

But I mean, just look. These linens match all my favourite Liberty prints.

Because they have definitely thought very carefully about the colours that we want to use to match our precious Liberty.

Have I mentioned just how impressed I am at the range of colours?! It’s not just one pink and one aqua and one blue. Girl, there are shade after hue after shade to choose from.

And I think it’s no surprise that Melon is my favourite – perfect shade of coral!

It is recommended to prewash these linens, especially for the red and darker blues. But if you’re often lazy like me, the word on the street is that using colour catchers should save you as always. Just depends on how much of a risk taker you are 😉 Me, well, I’m just going to risk it because I cannot wait to dig in!

Which is your favourite colour of linen?

 

The Strawberry Thief surprised me with this gift, but the choice to blog about it and all opinions and colour-gushing are 100% my own.
