Linen Love

This pack is all about experimenting with quality fibres and joyful colours. It’s an invitation to play with contemporary linen fabrics in soft shades and an open weave textured cotton too, using six naturally dyed wool threads, fine silk and no less than twenty four shades of stranded embroidery cottons. 

The fabrics are small enough not to be intimidating, big enough to make useful things with - needlecases, jewellery rolls, stitched envelopes for small precious gifts, pincushions, a storage roll for crochet hooks, pencilcases, cosmetics bags and so on.

Or you can simply enjoy the process of making marks with simple stitches, regular patterns or random, flowers or geometrics, names or nonsense then frame your artwork and display it. Whatever you do (or don’t) have fun!

This pack contains:

pieces soft blue linen, soft green linen and a honeycomb weave cotton, all at least 31cm x 34cm

two small squares of eco-printed cottons

6 x 4 metres of natural dyed fine wools

25 yards of fine silk thread
