 ~*~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

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS:  ~*~ These rolls are 100%  machine washable, warm..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). They can be dried in a dryer also! I like to tumble dry my linens as it adds a fluffy texture to the handle. Just be sure that the yardage doesn't get tangled up on itself in the dryer , causing creases! ~*~  I like to add Downy Ultra to my last rinse cycle for an added touch of softness~  Pure linen or hemp rolls tend to have no shrinkage, the rolls with cotton tend to have some shrinkage  . These rolls are tough and sturdy, built to last.....and last and last!! ~ 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~*~ So easy to maintain, simply machine wash, tumble dry. They only get more and more wonderful with use ~*~

 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~*~

The individual condition will be described to the best of my ability however, often flaws are inherent in vintage and antique textiles. Please email me if condition is vital to your purchase and we can discuss condition in detail. ~*~When describing my textiles, I use my best judgment and professional knowledge at estimating a date for the textiles that I sell. I have had many years of research, and many years of hands on experience with these wonderful textiles. I describe my textiles as Antique, if I estimate the age to be 100 years of age or greater. Ebay define an antique as a textile dating 1930 or prior. I describe my textiles as Vintage if I feel the textiles has age, or is outdated or old-fashioned, dating from the past. If I use both Antique/Vintage when describing a textile, it is because I feel the textile is most likely 100 years of age or greater, but may fall just short of that date. I often work in collaboration with other colleagues and textile specialists to ascertain the approximate age of my textiles, however it is my professional assessment only~*~I also use my best professional assessment to ascertain the fiber content of my textiles, using sight and feel and when possible historical information that helps me to identify plant use in a particular era. However, because my textiles are old, the fiber content is always only my best professional assessment. ~*~ I feel privileged and honored to bring these textiles to you, I sincerely thank you for your interest ~*~
