I was looking for a heavy linen to make a throw. As soon as I opened this I instantly loved it. As if that wasn't enough, it became even more lovely after the first washing. I pressed one edge to just realize it was perfect crinkled, showing off all the lovely textures in the jacquard weave. Did I use the word love too much? You will not regret this one!

My husband and I like sofa throws that cover your feet and your shoulders. I bought 3 yards and fringed the ends. I washed it about 4 times but didn't find it to be coarse at all. My husband loves it and I'm not embarrassed that it's left out, it's so beautiful. When the daisy version goes on sale I'm making one for me.

I wanted to update my comments from earlier. I read more reviewers who stated that they washed the fabric 5 times. After additional 2 washes I am seeing considerable more softness and I am so excited this is going to turn out like I imagined! Thankful that you have these helpful reviews for those of us trying new types of fabric.

After reading all the reviews I was pretty surprised at the texture after washing. Yes, it is scratchy. So loofah-like, yes, and that is okay. Some wrote about using this for a bath wrap and that is not at all comfortable. I wear wools that most people cannot wear so I do not think I'm exaggerating. I am going to try my remaining towels as hand towels and see how that goes so for right now my rating is not so high, but I am open to change. In your experience does this soften with multiple washings? Thanks.

I had made towels in Tetra and loved them so much that I decided to use this fabric to make a gift for my sister-in-law. She absolutely loves them, so I would recommend this fabric to anyone wanting a nice and unusual gift.

Wow! I bought just 1 yard to test it. I cut it in half cross-wise and serged the raw edges - nothing fancy. Then I washed it - what great texture. I used it to dry my hair after washing it - my hair is quite thick and dries slowly, especially in winter. I used this toweling, without pressing on my hair. It absorbed most of the moisture. I will use it regularly and may even make some gift towels.

The fabric is so beautiful I almost didn't want to wash it. I measured my fringe then pulled 8 threads then did a hem stitch within the pulled threads. Washed and dried on the line. Wonderful texture. I'm sure it will only get more soft and airy the more I use it.

This is very nice fabric. I have been making guest towels with it and all of that has gone well. I must say that the fabric did shrink much more than the instructions implied. It just means the hand towels are smaller, but they will work fine.

I bought a 2 yard length of this fabric to make a throw blanket. Leaving the selveges in place as the side hems, my finished dimensions are about 62"x52". I love it. After washing and drying, the fabric fluffs up into a perfect summer throw. I've repurchased another 2 yards and made a second one to give as a gift. Note - don't prewash. Do the math to figure out the shrinkage and allow for it. Biggest challenge for me was folding the end hems in a straight line before ironing. Once I ironed the hem in place, the unwashed fabric was stiff enough to hold the hem and sew without pins, one hem at a time.

I am replacing all of my "slimy soft" terry bath towels with these heavy canvas linens. It is important for healthy skin, to defoliate after bathing-- the soft squishy terry towels just do not do the job! The 9 and 10 oz linen fabrics are just an absolute necessity in order to have healthy, fresh, soft skin. I highly recommend its use for bath toweling.
