If you are looking for an antique linen that is wide, stunning and will last for 150 years~ this is your roll. This roll of hand woven linen is just beautiful. Lovely and wide, thick durable and beautiful cool, slightly puddy tone. The tone is a more grey toned flax, with the most wonderful quite dense weave. This linen is wonderful and bouncy, so much life~*~ really dances when it moves. T is so much beautiful surface texture also, very clearly woven by hand! ~*~ This would be PERFECT for an upholstery project, bed cover, slipcover~ it is wonderful. They are rarely found so long, and so wide!!! ~*~ This is a lovely heavy weight textile, very durable~*~ beautiful for so many uses! ( I have attached some photographs that one of my designers has sent to me that shows my textiles in action! ~ furniture not included in buy it now ) Perfect for slipcovers, table runner, curtains, upholstery, pillows, tablecloths, napkins, clothing....you name it! This would make amazing heirloom projects! ~*~ it is another wonderful textile treasure~*~ This linen is just beautiful when seamed for larger projects that require wider widths~ if you require larger amounts of linen please email me as my backstock is vast and I can usually match larger quantities for large projects~*~ This roll is very very beautiful~*~* *~* This roll is in wonderful condition~ This roll has been freshly laundered and is ready to use. The first yard t are some pale marks that didn't fully wash, however these are mostly on one side and the other side is only slightly effected, easy to use in a place on a project that isn't as visible ( taken into account in the price)~ t are a couple of other very very small marks that didn't wash fully, but that is only being picky! the tone of this roll changes ever ever so sligthly nearer the end, it is really wonderful and adds so much charm, again very clearly woven by hand with love and attention~~ perfect for multiple projects! ~*~ ~*~This wonderful fabric has so many uses:STUNNING table runners~*~Upholstery, bedding, cushions, curtains,clothing, Roman Blinds, bags, ~ so many wonderful sewing projects~*~ ~*~The woman weavers of yesterday would spend their evenings weaving these amazing rolls of linen. It took the average woman 1 night to weave 60 centimeters ( 24 inches) of linen ~*~ These rolls are 100% machine washable, on 40 or 60 celcius..if t is visible dirt, just add a bit of Oxywash! They are so easy to wash, simply spin dry then remove when wet. Roll the linen tightly and let sit overnight. In the morning unroll and allow to dry naturally~ this presses the linen and t is usually no need to iron ( unless you prefer it perfect). They can be dried in a dryer also! I like to add Downy Ultra to my last rinse cycle for an added touch of softness~ Pure linen or hemp rolls tend to have no shrinkage, the rolls with cotton tend to have some shrinkage ( I always list the content so if it doesn't red that it has a cotton content, it is pure linen) . These rolls are tough and sturdy, built to last.....and last and last!! New Hemp can be soaked in water for 3 days and then washed on regular cycle to soften or one can use liquid fabric softener if desired. Most of my rolls don't tend to need any additional help with softening as they have a lovely texture as is~ The average age of these rolls is about 100 years old, they are wonderful textile treasures~*~ Hemp is built to last for many many generations making it a lovely textile for creating family heirlooms~*~ All of my linen rolls are produced using natural fibers.
