'Jacobean' Linen Twill

This gorgeous 'Jacobean' Linen Twill is natural and un-dyed and is produced exclusively for The Crewel Work Company. It is made from flax grown on four farms in the far north of Scotland, far enough away from pollution to produce the natural "oatmeal with honey" colour. It is woven by their specialist historic textile weaver and it is featured in all their kits. The fabric is in a traditional "Z" twist, with a high thread count, faithfully replicating linen used in the best crewel pieces from the 17th and 18th Centuries in England and Scotland. The higher the thread count the easier it is to stitch, and the better the end result. The correct side to embroider is the 'ridged' side and showing this twill weave is an essential element in crewel work. We sell this beautiful fabric by the metre with many options, please choose size from the drop down box.  The fabric is 150cm wide with a minimum cut of 25cm.
