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

~*~This buy it now is for this amazingly beautiful hand woven Antique/Vintage hemp linen roll measuring (11.8 yards) 35.4 feet by21.65 inches ( 10.8 meters by 55cm) ~*~

This is truly one of the most WONDERFULLY beautiful rolls of hand woven linen I have seen. It is spectacular!!! ~ This roll is of such high quality~ the stripe is a wonderful indigo blue and the tone of the linen is a lovely lovely pale oatmeal tone, it is just WONDERFUL> This roll has the stunning loom ties still attached to the end making it a wonderful opportunity to create a feature from these that will really stand out! I have seen them used as part of a table runner, sofa pillow and a STUNNING curtain made from leaving the loom ties attached. A lovely and rare opportunity~*~* . The texture is a lovely one, quite smoothe with a medium open weave. This textile also has AMAZING natural linen striations in the weave, just LOVELY, I can't say enough about it. ~*~

This roll is in wonderful wonderful condition. . The first 2 yards of the roll have some dirt marks that should fully wash, however one side may leave ever so pale marks. The rest of the roll is stunning, light storage dirt that will wash, wonderful~ ! ~*~

For large projects like the sofa, plain linen can be used on the sides and backs!! I can usually match most rolls~ please email should you wish to discuss~*~

~*~These textiles are, by nature, Eco-friendly! The average age of these textiles is 100 years and they were naturally home grown, home retted ( in local lakes and ponds) and woven by hand. These textiles are being re-cycled today and showing off the extreme craftsmanship of past generations! Yet another feature that makes these textiles extremely eco-friendly is their durability. These textiles were designed to endure generations of constant use~ and will have an extremely long life. The timeless beauty of this linen and their extraordinary quality make these textiles the perfect choice for any home~ and an environmentally friendly choice~*~

~*~This wonderful fabric has so many uses:~*~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. 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~ ~*~ 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~*~
