Re: [h-cost] Gray Line Linen
I just had that exact experience. I need some fabric fast, and their website doesn't have rush delivery as an option, so I called. I had a VERY frustrating time just getting the person on the phone to take down my name and address. Someone else called me back the next day, and that conversation went way smoother.

Re: [h-cost] Gray Line Linen
I can only vouch for the grades of linen that I've purchased and how I've used them so your mileage may vary. Their handkerchief linen is the BEST! I adore it, its very smooth, not slubby and tightly woven, so you won't get the pulling at the seams like the linen from fabric-store.com. I love all the chemises and veils that I've made from it. (Do you remember the old Denver Fabrics handkerchief linen from 6-7 years ago? Its just like that, only better) Yes, it would make a lovely embroidered shirt. The medium Judy linen worked wonderfully for a linen kirtle and lining a Tudor wool gown and jacket. I used the Warsa as an interlining, on the kirtle. The Warsa (heavy) linen is so lovely, not stiff once washed but not shifty either. BTW, you can order sample cards, and they come with a 4 section of fabric that is not glued down all the way so you can feel the weight and texture.

Yeah, it looks like their web server is broken. Hopefully their web store people are on it.

Re: [h-cost] Gray Line Linen
I finally pulled out my old hankerchief linen stash from old Denver Fabrics, only 3 yards, and am making it into a new smock. I was despairing of ever finding its like again, since many stores have such slubby linen at this weight, or it is a blend with cotton or rayon, or it is super expensive. But to learn that there is a store that has even better quality linen at this weight? Ah, like mana from heaven. Thank you Marion for sharing this info. I look forward to buying some from Gray Line for my family's nicer smocks. And checking today, their site is still having errors. But I can wait.
