Is there any linen there you'd especially recommend? I've asked them
about swatches but they have not replied.
Thanks for any info,
Fran

Does anyone know where to get that medium-weight, drapey 100% linen
that was used for vintage tablecloths, in cream or white and in a
plain weave (not damask)? I want to dye some yardage. Vintage
tablecloths don't look like an option. I don't have time for garage
sales. The ones on eBay are mostly damask, striped, embroidered. or
printed. The plain ones there actually are not all that cheap per
yard. Furthermore, my experience with dyeing vintage table linens is
they can have old grease stains that do not show up on examination
before dyeing, but which inhibit the dye in places when dyed.
Thanks,
