~*~Hello and thank you for looking~*~ ~*~This buy it now is for this beautiful (5.57 yards!!) 16.7 feet by 22 inches roll ( 5.1 meters by 56cm) ~*~ Another beautiful hand woven roll of antique/vintage European linen/hemp! A wonderful wonderful, amazing quality, hand woven textile! This roll has a lovely pale flaxy tone on one side and a deeper warm flaxy tone on the other. The weave is a medium open weave, and the red stripe is a beautiful, French red~*~ just LOVELY! Amazing texture in this roll! ~*~ This roll in good condition, t is a dirty mark in the 3rd yard that I think will leave a pale mark when washed, it may fully wash, but to avoid disappointment, I would expect perhaps a pale mark to remain. This roll has some pale marks on the deeper toned side that didn't come through to the pale side, so I would recommend purchasing this roll only for the pale side~*~ !!! ~*~This wonderful fabric has so many uses:~*~Upholstery, bedding, cushions, curtains,clothing, Roman Blinds, bags, ~ so many wonderful sewing projects~*~ ~*~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~*~ ~*~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~*~ ~*~Please see my other items for more textile treasures~*~ ~*~For weekly updates, please add me to your favorites list !~*~ ~*~Important information~*~ Customer satisfaction is extremely important to me!
