Description
~*~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 measuring ~*~(8.74 yards) 26.4 feet long by 22.44 inches wide (8 meters by 57cm) ~*~* This roll is wonderful and has lovely stripes that run the length and width of the roll. That makes this roll full of wonderful French country charm~*~ This roll has lovely blue and red stripes and is made from a linen weft and a cotton warp. This roll would make the most beautiful country curtains, blinds and a stunning runner~ really charming for use in the kitchen! Also, this length would be beautiful seamed together for lovely curtains~*~* This roll is in wonderful condition~ unwashed, with some light storage dirt that will wash, it is just lovely! . ~ ~*~This wonderful fabric has so many uses:STUNNING table runners~*~Upholstery, bedding, pillows, curtains, clothing, Roman shades, 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, on 40 or 60 celcius..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). Pure linen or hemp rolls tend to have no shrinkage, the rolls with cotton tend to have some shrinkage ( I always list the content so if it doesn't . 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~ 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~*~ ~*~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!
