Q1. What is pure linen fabric and is Saroj's linen 100% pure?
A1. Pure linen is woven entirely from flax plant fibres, a natural, biodegradable, breathable fabric loved for its texture and longevity. Saroj's pure linen collection is 100% flax with no polyester or rayon blends. Each metre is labelled with weight (in GSM) and width (44 inches standard).
Q2. How much does pure linen fabric cost per metre at Saroj?
A2. Saroj's pure linen ranges from Rs.375 per metre for printed linens to Rs.1,275 per metre for premium dyed pure linen. Cotton linen blends are Rs.275 to Rs.575. Bulk and wholesale pricing is available for orders above 25 metres via the Bulk Enquiry page.
Q3. Is linen fabric a good choice for Indian summer?
A3. Linen is widely considered the best summer fabric for Indian climates. Its open weave and natural moisture-wicking keep the body 3 to 5 degrees cooler than cotton. Pure linen is also UV-resistant and dries faster than cotton, making it ideal for Mumbai humidity, Delhi summers, and coastal travel.
Q4. Does pure linen fabric wrinkle a lot, and how do I manage it?
A4. Yes, pure linen wrinkles naturally, and most fashion designers consider this part of its charm. To minimise: iron while slightly damp, hang immediately after drying, and avoid over-stuffing in storage. Wrinkles relax further as you wear linen.
Q5. Can I machine-wash pure linen fabric?
A5. Linen can be machine-washed on gentle cycle in cold water with mild detergent. However, hand-wash extends the fabric's lifespan significantly. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Air-dry — never tumble dry pure linen, as heat damages flax fibres permanently.
Q6. What's the difference between pure linen and cotton linen blend?
A6. Pure linen is 100% flax — stronger, more breathable, more textured, more wrinkle-prone. Cotton linen blend (typically 60-70% cotton with 30-40% linen) is softer, more wrinkle-resistant, and more affordable. Pure linen is the premium choice for shirts, dresses, and home decor; cotton linen suits everyday casual wear.
Q7. Does Saroj ship pure linen fabric internationally?
A7. Yes, Saroj ships linen fabric worldwide. International shipping is calculated based on weight, destination, and shipping mode. Email contact@saroj.in for an exact quote. Pan-India shipping is free above Rs.499 with COD available.
