~*~Hello and thank you for looking~*~ ~*~This buy it now is for this beautiful, 100% hand-woven roll of antique/vintage European hemp/linen roll measuring ~*~(5.23 yards)15.7 feet long by 24.4 inches wide (4.8 meters by 62cm) ~*~* AMAZING textile~ This hand woven textile is the most wonderful, deep washed flaxy tone~the fiber content is most likely a comination of hemp, flax, thistle, and perhaps even nettle! This textile is just so very very beautiful. The overall tone is quite consistant with some absolutely beautiful texture. This roll has the signiture stripe of the weave just at the beginning of this roll once that is a lovely pale triple purple lilac color, and then again two times right in the end of the roll!!! The middle yardage of the roll is the wonderful chunky plain linen~*~ It would make a wonderful feature for any project. !The weave is a WONDERFUL quite open weave, with the most rustic tones and texture. Quite coarse but will soften with washing. It would make the most wonderful rustic pillows, table runner, upholstery fabric, you name it! Sunning. This is a lovely heavy weight textile, very durable~*~ ( included in the photographs are some examples of some uses of my textiles. Furniture not included in this buy it now) Perfect for slipcovers, 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~ 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~ unwashed, unused! T is a dirt mark in the first 10 inches of the roll that might leave a pale mark, otherwise lovely~*~ Wonderful~~ Easily machine washable, please see instructions~ ~*~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 warp or weft, 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. Natural fibers have the irregularities and subtleties that are innt ...adding to their rustic charm~*~ These rolls are increasingly difficult to find as they have been used so extensively over the past 20 years. This is a wonderful opportunity to own your own piece of textile history~*~ ~*~Please see my other items for more textile treasures~*~ ~*~For weekly updates, please add me to your favorites list !~*~ ~*~Important i... read more
