I’m very excited to be able to offer machine embroidered replica blackworked linen fabric by the 1/2 yard. The pattern is a copy of the design found on a 16th century hood in the V&A museum. I had originally found it on the cover of a book on Elizabethan Embroidery
and I fell SO in love with it that I decided to have some of it made by an embroidered fabric company in India. (I ended up having to have a LOT of it made.) I discovered that I wasn’t the only one who was excited about it, so I decided to share it and here it is, available for purchase.
Specifications:
Fiber Content: off-white 100% linen embroidered with black or red thread.
Width: 47″ wide before washing. Embroidered area is 42″ before washing.
Washing instructions: Machine wash warm, tumble dry medium. You will need to iron it – it’s linen. you will want to serge or zig all raw edges before you wash it – it’s linen.
Shrinkage: After washing, drying, and ironing, my 1 yard sample ended up 45″ wide (embroidery is 40.5″ wide) by 35″ long.
Pattern Repeat: 8″
Weight: shirt weight/garment weight. I don’t know what it is in oz.
Note – because my product builder tool can’t sell part of a product I have to sell this by the half yard rather than by the full yard. (I always wondered why some other sites did this, assuming that it was some funky marketing thing.) Please do your math accordingly. If you want five yards of it in one long length, order 10 half yards. I won’t cut them all apart – I promise.
I’m making a separate product for coif-sized pieces.
It’s amazing! I wish I could afford a bolt of it!! What Are you waiting for?? Ya know ya want some!
