~*~Hello and thank you for looking~*~ Lovely and RARE ~ this bolt is a vintage homespun fabric bolt from Europe that dates from the early 1900's ~ this fabric has a very rare and lovely black stripe! This is a linen and cotton mix fabric, called Fustian. The warp is a natural cotton and the weft is pure hemp ~ this fabric has a more open weave and is ideal for projects such as decorative pillows etc, however I don't recommend this fabric for upholstery as the weave is more open that I personally would like . It would be just fine for dining chairs or a small upholstery project, however I don't recommend it for slip covers or projects where the body and hand is important as this fabric doesn't have the same floppy hand that most do! ~*~ ~ This bolt is in as found, unwashed condition with some light storage dust and some pale marks in places that may not fully wash! They would be small and pale, however this fabric should only be purchased if it isn't vital to your project that the fabric be pristine! ~*~( condition reflected in the price) ~*~ MEASUREMENTS : I'm selling this bolt by the ONE YARD length ~ so each purchase is for a length that measures one yard long by 22.5 inches wide . Should you wish to purchase further continuous lengths, simply change the quantity button. EG: should you require a length that measures 3 yards long by 22.5 inches wide, simply change the quantity button to 3 ~*~ CONDITION : this lovely bolt is in as found, unwashed condition. Please see above for condition details ~*~ ~*~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 warm if there 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 or to have a softer texture, simply tumble dry in the dryer!! If drying in the dryer , just be sure that the fabric doesn't get tangled up on itself in the dryer as this can cause creases ~*~ ~ this presses the linen and there 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!! It can be 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 inherent ...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 information~*~ 100% Customer satisfaction is extremely important to me!
