My Go-To Linen & Thread Picks
One of the questions I get asked most often is what fabrics and threads I actually use. These aren't the only options in the shop, but they're the ones I find myself returning to again and again.
Not because they’re the only options—but because they’re reliable, easy to work with, and tend to pair well across a range of projects.
These are the linens I return to when I want something to settle in easily—reliable, balanced, and not requiring a lot of adjustment.

Linen I Reach For
If I'm struggling to choose a fabric, this is often where I start. It works with samplers and seasonal pieces without much fuss.
I was hesitant the first time I stitched on this color, but it quickly became one of my favorites for florals and softer palettes.
Sometimes I simply want an easy, comfortable stitch. Monaco is often where I land.
