Full description
A beautiful subtly self striped linen fabric in a soft blue that's perfect for crafts and costumes as well as dressmaking. Originally bought for making hand stitched medieval tunics, this textured fabric would be lovely as a background for applique or freestyle embroidery. or a lightweight summer skirt.
Quarter, half or full metre options - 3 metres still available
Brighter than the photos suggest, I would call this mid-sky blue, or a light indigo - think faded old jeans without the white cross threads, or the colour we often associate with the Virgin Mary.
Mid weight, with a varying tightness of weave as shown in the photos taken against the light, creating semi translucent stripes going vertically up the fabric (parallel to the selvedge). The weave of the yarn means the front and back look similar.
Being 100% natural linen, it creases and frays- something that can be used to great effect in textile art. Or you can iron out the wrinkles for a smoother look. This fabric has already been washed, so most of the natural shrinkage has occurred.
Unused, pre-washed. Will soften more with subsequent washes.
Composition: Linen
Width: 150cm / 60 inches
Care - machine or hand wash at medium temperatures. Steam press, or iron when damp.
SHIPPING - this item will be posted Royal Mail Tracked 48, but you can add my T24 upgrade listing to your order if you want quicker delivery.
