~*~Hello and thank you for looking~*~

~*~This buy it now is for this beatufiul, 100% hand-woven roll of antique/vintage European hemp/linen roll measuring ~*~( 18.5 yards!!!!) 55.4 feet long by 19.7 inches wide (16.9 meters by 50cm) ~*~*

If any of you have seen the cover of Januray Feb. Veranda magazine~ you will see this lovely fabric used in the most beautiful way~*~* If you have been searching for the fabric called "Thistle cloth", and you are looking to duplicate the look with an antique hand-woven textile, you have found the right place~*~* ~~*~* Often hemp, flax, thistle were used to create textiles of yesterday all over Europe, as these rolls are all around 100 years old~*~ . These rolls are stunning seamed together to make long lengths and I have just had a new shipment of these lovley textiles so I can match longer rolls if necessary for larger projects~*~* please email me should you like more information~*~* ( I have attached some photographs of some projects that one of my designers has recently created so that you can see some wonderful uses for this linen~ examples not included in this buy it now :) )

This roll is stunning, superb, spectacular~*~* it is a wonderful hand woven roll of hemp that measures over 18 yards long. This roll has the most amazing tone, that is a natural flax tone with a beautiful slightly grey cast~ it is incredible. The weave is a medium open weave and is lovely and heavy weight, extremely durable. Withing this roll one can even see tiny bits of the fibers of the hemp. It is just amazing. It is chunky and simply wonderful. An wonderful textile treasure.

Perfect for slip covers, coverlets, blankets, curtains, upholstery, runners, 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~ 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 was stored folded in half and one side has pale dirt mark along the fold that will wash well! The other side is not effected by this ~*~ T is some other light storage dirt on this roll that will wash beautifully also. In the first foot of the roll t is a small mark that I don't think will fully wash, otherwise just wonderful! ~

~*~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). 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 . 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. Natural fibers have the irregularities and subtleties that are innt ...adding to thei...
