Each roll was woven by different weavers on farms in the east of the Netherlands. Dating 1900 this linen is over 100 years old, it is relatively course, real farmers linen. The colour is anywhere between sand and linen gray, colours may differ between rolls.
There is no comparison to the feeling of handloom and handspun fabrics. This linen is linen dating from the early 1900's. Linen like this would be woven at home on the farm. You can see the little irregularities that give this linen its' charm. It is still rolled up in the traditional way; folded double and then rolled.
Linen is a cellulose bast fibre, and takes dye and eco prints like a champion.
Amazing for unique pillow covers, rustic apliques on bags and much more.
Since this linen is over 100 years old, it needs a good washing and scouring before use and may come with some discolorations and small stains that should even out after washing and with dyeing and printing.
We scour this fabric by using the long cycle at 90ºC in the washing machine, with 1/2 spoon of soda ash per meter of fabric. Dry in the full sun to bleach out stains.
