   Colourcard

   new colourcard "under construction"

skeins of silk
Soie d'Alger - Au ver à soie
7-strand 5m spun silk
3,00 €/each

The silk we offer is Soie d'Alger from Au ver à soie. It is 7-strand 5m spun silk. It is made of the best quality spun silk which gives it an unrivalled regularity, lustrous and softness. The thread does not snearl in the needle!
For 5 m the actual price is 3,00 Euro or 4,10 Dollar.

Some hints for using the silk:

Before washing test for colour fastness. Dip a small piece of silk in cold or tepid water. Take a piece of white cotton fabric and lay it over the silk, then press with a warm iron. If there ia any transfer of colour to the white fabric or than a faint mark, do not wash the item. Light colours may be washed in tepid water. Be careful with dark colours.

 

We specialize in higher count linen. The linen we offer are 36 count linen and 40 count, bleached and unbleached.

Zweigart Edinburgh, 36 count linen, unbleached
34,00 €/m (140 cm)

Zweigart Edinburgh, 36 count linen, white
34,00 €/m (140 cm)

Zweigart Edinburgh, 36 count linen, is a very high- quality linen. It has the wonderful caracteristics of linen, but is not as irregular as some of the other linens on the market. It is a very soft linen, on the other hand, it has more "body" than other linens - without actually being stiff.

Permin, 40 count linen
lambswool

Permin, 40 count linen

These linens have been carefully selected for their strinking resemblance to authentic seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth century linen. They represent the finest scandinavian evenweave linens available on the market today.
