Spanish term

lino crudo

Spanish to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion list
Hi everyone! I'm translating a list of descriptions of clothing. I'm confused here if 'lino' and 'lino crudo' refer to linen or to the colour 'flax' as suggested by Wikipedia. I assume it would be the colour because I don't think you get tweed made from linen (although correct me if wrong).

Denise Phelps Feb 24, 2015:
Both I think the first example refers both to colour (ecru and navy) and fabric (linen tweed), and the second simply to the fabric (linen tweed).
Linen tweed certainly exists (https://www.google.es/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&es... and the word generally used to describe the colour of raw (i.e. unbleached) linen is "ecru" (http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/ecru; http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=ecr... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecru)

flaxen yellow (raw flax)

As the full line of description is immediately followed by another color '... and marine blue', it stands to reason that this is also a color and as lino is flax, this would be a raw flax which is a yellowish color also known as flaxen yellow
