I absolutely LOVE linen sheets! I love the way they feel, the way they drape and look, and I love caring for them. Nothing feels like linen! On a warm night they are cool and absorbent, keeping one comfortable in a way no other fabric does. I like cotton when the weather is cold, but in the summer linen is King! If you would like to see full sized pictures, I would be glad to email them to you. Unless otherwise noted ALL linens are clean and pressed, ready for your use! |

There is a light stain about 1 by 2.5 inches and a group of pinpoint stains next to one hem (pictured), the sheet is otherwise good. The linen is tightly woven of medium thickness but weighty due to the size and 100% high quality linen content.

Thick heavy French homespun hemp sheet circa 1800s
Thick, heavy French homespun hemp sheet circa 1800s. This cream sheet measures 90 inches wide by 62 inches long, the center seam is hand stitched as are the hems. There are 2 stains the size of a silver dollar and 2 small faint stains, pea size, there are 2 very small holes, the sheet is otherwise good. Hemp fabric feels similar to linen but its usually coarser, as you can see in the pictures, the fabric and weaving are tight, even though the fabric looks coarse, it is actually fairly soft. Linen and hemp become softer with each washing and use. This sheet will last a very long time. or the fabric could be used for other purposes.
