We found this beautiful old cloth in the south of France.
It is woven from unbleached flax yarn that has mellowed with age.
It is a coarse, plain-woven linen fabric, probably intended for embroidery, upholstery, or household furnishings rather than clothing.
It is a plain weave, with equal numbers of warp and weft threads crossing over one another. The weave is open enough to show the texture but still firm and stable.
The cloth has not been used or washed and retains its original stiffness - if you want to wash it, we recommend soaking it in water overnight first - advice given to us by a number of vendors.
We approximate this to be a medium to heavy weight, probably around 300–450 g/m².
It measures approximately 108x50cm
Due to it's age, there will be inconsistencies in the weave and possible small areas of discolouration.
**The actual colour of the cloth is closer to the photos showing an ochre shade.
