What is Airy Li about?
Airy Li carries the lightness of linen in its name, and the lightness I strive to keep in my heart - grateful, whatever life brings. It is my journey, woven into fabric, each piece reflecting a season, a mood, a chapter of my life.
Born in Kyiv in 2018, Airy Li was inspired by my homeland, Crimea - a breathtaking peninsula in southern Ukraine, now under occupation.
Today, I continue the story in the UK, after two years of silence. Let me remind myself, and share with you, what Airy Li stands for:
- Comfort and sustainability
- No rush, no overproduction, no overconsumption
- As little waste as possible
- Only natural fabrics
- Modesty and dignity
- Respect for nature and people
With love,
Limara
What about the fabric cut-offs?
I’ve been sharing fabrics in Ukraine and would love to continue here in the UK.
Cut-offs are usually small, irregularly shaped pieces of fabric, perfect for textile art, toy making, stuffing, and more. If you’re a UK-based maker or charity in need of linen, cotton, or wool cut-offs, I’d be glad to help as best I can.
If you’re looking for larger pieces, please check the ‘Fabrics on Sale’ section, which is coming soon. Just drop me a message through the form below with your needs, and I’ll get back to you shortly.

Fabrics choice
Why linen?
Though I don’t work only with linen, it is definitely my favourite. Beyond its beautifully soft, noble wrinkles, linen is also:
- Strong and durable
- Breathable and highly absorbent
- Naturally cooling
- Hypoallergenic and gentle on skin
- Sustainable and biodegradable
- Softer with every wash
In this shop, you’ll find a variety of goods made from OEKO-Tex certified linen.
Why Cotton?
I sometimes use cotton flannel for cozy cool season shirts or dresses, and washed cotton for bedding.
Some of its benefits:
- Natural and versatile
- Soft and comfortable
- Breathable
- Good moisture absorption
- Easy to care for
OEKO-Tex certified.
What about wool?
The sheep stay happy and healthy through shearing, and we get to enjoy the natural benefits too. A win for everyone!
Woon is:
- Natural & renewable
- Excellent insulation (warmth)
- Moisture-wicking
- Breathable & temperature-regulating
- Odor-resistant
- Fire-resistant
- Durable and elastic
I can’t stop wars, global warming, or the end of the world from coming, but I can keep my conscience clear, help others, and take responsibility for my everyday choices. That’s exactly what I do here at Airy Li, and I hope to be able to do more with your help.
