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

~*~This buy it now is for this beautiful, 100% hand-woven roll of antique/vintage European hemp/linen  roll  ~

I am selling this lovely roll by the one yard lengths, so each purchase is for a length that measures 1 yard long by 20 inches wide~ ( 91cm by 51cm) ~ should you require further lengths, simply change the quantity button. All lengths are uncut so you will recieve one long length~*~* ( roll A)

This is a lovely roll of hand woven linen cotton mix, usually about 80% linen and 20% cotton. ~*~ This wonderful roll was used throughout Europe for clothing, bedding and other household textiles. This roll has a very fine weave, and is a medium to heavy weight. The tone is a natural cream tone. This textile is perect for upholstery, pillows, embroidery, kitched towels, napkins, clothing, curtains. I love knowing that these textiles are eco-friendly and grown before the use of pesticides~ wonderful wonderful textiles indeed ~*~*

Perfect for slip covers, curtains, upholstery, pillows, tablecloths, napkins, clothing....you name it!  This would make amazing heirloom projects! ~*~ it is another wonderful textile treasure~*~ This linen is just beautiful when seamed for larger projects~ if you require larger amounts of linen please email me as my backstock is vast and I can almost always match much larger quantities for large projects~*~ ~*~* *~*

This roll is in wonderful condition~ unwashed, unused!  Just some light storage dirt marks that will wash~ LOVELY ~*~ Wonderful~~ Easily machine washable, please see instructions~

~*~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, 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~ this presses the linen and there is usually no need to iron ( unless you prefer it perfect). They can be dried in a dryer also! I like to add Downy Ultra to my last rinse cycle for an added touch of softness~  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!! ~ 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~*~
