Bright White Fabric

This was my first time buying a linen material for needlepoint and for my purposes/project I purchased it for this is fine. Overall the material is soft enough and easy to work with. Although does require a bit more patience on my part. Let's chalk that up to my own inexperience with cross stich linens. Pros: Soft, smooth, slightly stretchy but not too much, even coloring and maybe a little rustic looking. Cons: Has a bit of pilling or lint coming off the fabric, threads come loose in spots in the middle, a few rogue darker threads throughout, not 100% even all over. I could see the flaws in the weave where the material is tighter or looser in areas and the weird spots where the material has a loose thread (in the center not the edges) being a problem for someone doing a very precise project. I'm fine with it because of what I'll end up doing with it, but buyer be warned. If you're okay with a few minor imperfections that you probably won't see from far away or unless your project is examined under a microscope then this is a great purchase. I am told that if I want a perfect evenweave I need to ourchase a zweigart fabric.

The Navy-Blue color is exactly as depicted and described. Instead of spending money for a pair of new lamps, I updated the shades on my existing ones with this fabric and they turned out beautifully! I am very pleased!

Bought for table linen. Machine washed and dried, It did shrink 2" in length, width not effected, I was expecting some version of white, but this is plainly ecru. I planned to do a small table cloth with a crewel embroidery design. I think it can still work as the colors I'm using will be quite muted. It's a good weight, feels sturdy not really much stretch. Probably should have zigzagged the edges before laundering to stop so much fraying in the wash. I will continue with my plans but change to a table runner instead. Overall I'm ok with this fabric just wanted a white color. It'll do for my present purposes.

Since it's 100% natural linen there's no stretch in the material. It's the perfect material for my embroidery projects. There are some imperfections since it is natural but usually I can pick out the darker imperfections with my needle. Already on 3rd order from same supplier and quality/color is consistent

I really like the color of the fabric. It was great for these two embroidery patterns I had. It wasn’t so great for another one. However, I’m satisfied with it. I just didn’t want to go out to buy fabric at a store. Only one dislike, the fabric is not tightly woven.

This worked alright for me when I first started embroidery a few months ago — there are definitely pros & cons. If you’re a beginner and/or planning to stitch with all 6 strands of embroidery floss (rather than separating them/using a finer weight thread), you may like this better than finer fabrics like Muslim or quilting cotton — the weave will allow the floss to pass without much friction, and it’s not prone to puckering at all. It’s also really durable (away from the edges), lets a good (medium) amount of light through, and is a very neutral, natural-looking off-white. After using this for a while, I found that those finer & more tightly-woven cotton fabrics I mentioned are more suited to my style of embroidery. Do consider that I use 12-50wt cotton thread and #26-28 tapestry needles, which are significantly more delicate than standard embroidery floss & needles. This linen has a somewhat low thread count, which makes it next to impossible to make fine stitches close together. It also frays really badly no matter how well you cut it. Mine was shedding from the edges, requiring frequent trimming; pulling at a loose thread will unravel a whole row. That may just be the nature of this kind of fabric, but the fraying made it extremely hard to finish a hoop/stitch the edges. You’ll need to use extra to account for this. All that said, this linen is decent, and I didn’t want to waste what was left over after switching fabrics. I’ll be using the remaining ~50”x30” to make a lampshade. I’m guessing it’ll be perfect for that purpose… as long as I cut very very straight and use hemming tape asap.

Pay attention to the seller's note: "The fabric is only cut into 20 by 62-Inch. When you buy more than one, you wil get corresponding pieces which is 20 by 62-Inch, not a continuous piece." Quality: great Color: as shown in picture. Cut: Honest. Exactly the dimmension they say. If you don't mind not getting a continuous fabric when you order more than 1 yard, this item is good. For my especific projects I need continuous fabric, so sadly I will need to look somewhere else to buy my fabric.

This worked prefect for a small tunic for my grandson, the color is beautiful, he loved it, it's not hard on his little body. Will be buying more fabric.
