Avellino Lilac Popelin Check
Avellino Lilac Popelin Check is a charming and subtly textured shirting fabric from ALUMO’s Avellino line—offering the relaxed visual character of linen while delivering the softness, stability, and easy care of pure cotton. It is woven in a Zephir construction using Ne 120/2 yarns in the warp and distinctive Ne 100/2 – 40/1 slub cotton in the weft, with 52 warp and 33 weft threads per centimetre. The result is a lightweight fabric with a gently irregular surface that mimics a linen blend, yet remains 100% cotton.
The lilac check pattern adds a soft, contemporary twist to a traditional motif, striking the perfect balance between playful and polished. Ideal for spring and summer shirts, or for adding a relaxed note to business-casual ensembles, this fabric is breathable, elegant, and full of tactile charm. A fine example of ALUMO’s ability to marry natural texture with Swiss weaving precision.
Please note: the nominal width is 150 cm, but due to the finishing process, a slight variation of ±2 cm may occur.
