Once you have slept on linen sheets, nothing else is quite the same, far superior to cotton even the finest Egyptian cotton. Linen has a rich history, used since Biblical times and renowned for its inherent resistance to dirt and stains. Robust yet soft, the colour lightens and the fabric softens with use. Because of its ability to absorb moisture without feeling damp linen remains cool in summer and warm in winter. Linen also drapes beautifully, and makes wonderful curtains, it is hard wearing so is good for cushions and upholstery.
Vintage Homespun Linen Hemp Panel Rustic French
|
This is a very rustic homespun linen hemp panel with a centre seam.
Measuring 188cm wide and 174cm long, this is a nice size for a curtain panel, tablecloth, or chair slipcover.
It retains the natural ecru colour of the original materials, and has lots of lovely slubs. It is smooth to the touch and not coarse, but thick and strong.
The hems and centre seam have been sewn by hand, in what appears to be linen thread, with the centre seam sewn in quite large stitches, so this would be easy to unpick if needed.
I have given it a refreshing wash, but there is a possibility that there remains the odd storage mark.
A fantastic piece of homspun history in excellent condition, waiting to be transformed into something new!
Freshly washed and ironed so ready to use!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most of the items that I list will be vintage or used, so may show signs of their previous history, which is the whole charm of these pre-loved items. If you are looking for a pristine, unused item, then my finds are probably not for you. I do my best to describe their condition accurately. Generally I find that these items have been cherished possessions at a time when people did not live in such a throwaway society, so they made things to last, and took care of them.
