Robert Kaufman's collection of Essex linen-cotton blend fabrics is one of Purl Soho's favorite go-to’s! Sturdier than quilting cotton but softer than a light upholstery, Essex is perfect for rugged jobs that require a gentle touch. Think throw pillows, aprons, quilting, clothing and more! Choose solid colors for a crisp look or yarn-dyed for heathered colors with a bit more depth.
