Construction
Linen Fabric — Mill & Exporter, India
Cotton-mill linen, roughly 120–250 g/m², low minimums.
Linen woven alongside cotton under one roof — roughly 120 to 250 g/m², in plain and light twill. Positioned as European-look linen at an India price and a low minimum, not a quality-parity claim against premium European mills. Send the construction or the end use and we will confirm what we can run.
Characteristics of our linen fabric
- Woven from wet- or dry-spun flax yarn — an open plain weave with pronounced irregular slubs.
- Dry, crisp hand and a natural sheen; filters light differently from cotton.
- Higher wet strength loss and more creasing than cotton, but better pilling resistance.
- Typically to 63 inches wide; heavier ground weights available for upholstery and blinds.

Ordering linen fabric from the mill
Every length is made to your specification — there is no stock list. Send a target construction (yarn counts, ends and picks, weave), a weight in g/m² or oz, a finished width, and the finish state you need: greige, RFD, piece-dyed against a lab dip, or printed. If you only have an end use or a physical sample, we identify the closest article and confirm it on a swatch before bulk.
The minimum is 100 m for greige with no per-colour minimum, or 1000 m per colour once processing is involved. Greige runs in about 2 days; dyed or printed takes about 2 weeks including approvals. We ship FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva or CIF destination port from Mundra or Nhava Sheva, on a staged payment structure where only 10% is committed before production.

Linen Fabric for a specific use
Common questions
What's your minimum order?
100 m for greige, 1,000 m per colour for processed fabric. No full-container minimum.
How wide can you weave?
45 to 135 inches (about 343 cm), so wide cloth doesn't need a seam.
How heavy can you go?
Up to 800 GSM (about 24 oz).
How fast is delivery?
Greige in about 2 days, processed in about 2 weeks. That's production time; sea transit is on top. Market norm is 30 to 45 days.
Are you GOTS or OEKO-TEX certified?
Both applied for and in progress as of September 2026, not granted yet. Many buyers sample in parallel while certs complete. Organic cotton is available now.
You're a new mill. Why should I risk an order?
The plant is new; the family behind it has 50 years in textile manufacturing, and this is the third generation. We start with a swatch pack, then a small paid trial. Payment is staged 10/15/50/25, so only 10% is at risk before production. Specs are transparent; certs are dated.
What are your payment terms?
10% on order, 15% at production start, 50% on passing QC, 25% on dispatch. Move to LC once we've traded.
Can you do RFD so we dye locally?
Yes. RFD by the roll is a core line. MOQ 100 m as greige, or take it RFD.
Do you ship to the UK, US, EU or Australia?
Yes. FOB Mundra or Nhava Sheva, or CIF to your port. UK buyers: the India–UK deal removes UK import duty on Indian cotton fabric.
Can I get a sample?
Yes. A swatch pack plus price list to start, then trial yardage.
