A Bit about Linen Weight
Happy Monday! Woohoo! The beginning of another week. I hope it’s going to be a great one for all of us!
If you’ve been hanging about with me on Needle ‘n Thread for a wee bit, you probably know that I’m a sucker for linen. It is by far my favorite fabric – not just for embroidery, but pretty much for everything.
Linen, made from flax, has been around since the beginning of written history and earlier. It’s the oldest excavated fabric.
It’s beautiful. It’s versatile. It’s rough. It’s fine. It’s sacred. It’s secular. It’s elegant. It’s casual. It’s long-wearing, warm, cool, heavy, light. It’s the stuff of heirlooms.
Linen, in short, is Awesome!
