Beautiful, soft, bleached 100% linen fabric. Three different weights, from thin to thick, fine to heavy. LIN21 has the finest weave, LIN6 the 'coarsest', with LIN holding down the middle! This fabric ships in a bag instead of on a bolt.

8oz is definitely opaque soft but fairly stiff after washingdrying. Good for heavier projects I'm going to be making early 16th century pantshosen from it cutting on the bias for the stretchThe 4.7oz is a good heavy shirt weight mostly opaque not as soft or supple as expected but will make good sturdy Renaissance (italian or english) shirts. The 3.8 oz stuff is perfect shirt weight for someone not planning on putting it through "Hell". I costume for historical re-enactors my clothing survives battle. I'm making myself some nicer shirts with this stuff wouldn't expect it to survive heavy use. Nice nonetheless! Partially see through.

Well pleased! I ordered the lightest weight white linen in a 30 yd bolt. It arrived quickly and packaged nicely: the shipping box surprised me by being small and rectangular when I knew I had ordered a bolt. They folded it well so it isn't very wrinkled and wrapped it in plastic to keep it safe from weather. The linen has a very fine drape even before washing. I do living historyreenactment and this is perfect fabric for veils and higher quality chemises. It is not slubby like the linen found on Fabrics-store dot com much silkier and closer to the results of fine weaving in the medieval period. This is an open weave however expect it to be relatively transparent. Not a good choice for sun-protection if you burn easily.

I loved it. I bought it for a natural dye and shibori class. It held up to the stitched resist techniques took the dyes beautifully and had a lot of texture and character of its own to contribute.

This linen is fantastic such great quality and amazing price point. I got 6.8 oz. It's so soft after washing. I used it to make curtains. I'm ordering more to make pillow cases. Love it!

The 3.8 oz linen is FABULOUS for medieval and Renaissance veils chemises and shirts. Washes up beautifully and has a lovely soft hand. Sews like a dream. It is slightly sheer but for veils in particular this is perfect. I make all my chemises out of this as well since I prefer a lightweight chemise. Especially good for full chemises & shirts such as Italian Ren German Ren and Elizabethan. Garments stand up well to repeated washing and machine drying. I am just finishing up my second 30 yard bolt. Unbeatable price especially with the full bolt discount..

I use this linen for my business making scarves and other items it is absolutely divine! Luxuriously silky to the touch unwashed and a true white that washes to a casual softness I give this a 5 star rating. Also not a lot of lint like other affordable linens these are well made fabrics. I can't wait until the 3.8 oz is back in stock!!

Very nice smooth linen. Perfect for Regency chemises and caps and medievalRenaissance smocks veils and wimples. If I ever had time to sew anything but costume I'd make myself a nightgown and maybe a half-slip.
