Hi Mark,
A lucky find!
A pretty piece - interesting to see the 'deliberate' mistake in the rose

Hello Mark
No, I don't think it's handspun, but I do think it's linen.
I can see that it's S twist, which is what I'd expect a linen thread to
be, along with variations in thickness. The two linens which fit the

I'm so glad you have changed your thinking about bamboo... I like it a lot.
