I purchased two yards, as an experiment, to see if I could find a cheaper way to have canvas to mount on plywood to paint on. on Amazon, for a pack of 3 24x24 cotton canvas panels cost $65.99. I bought 2 yards of 10.1 oz linen canvas fabric here, $21.00 ( I forgot to use my discount) and I can get 6 24x24 panels, plus a good bit left over for mounting on odd pieces of plywood. Yes, it is natural colour, but white gesso would take care of that. I still have the lovely colour which I will not cover with white, but with transparent mix of Elmers Glue-All, water and calcium carbonate powder. If I can figure out how to attach pictures of the finished ( not yet painted on) mounted canvas I will....drlucille
This fabric makes very absorbent bath towels. I made two, and am about to buy fabric to make more. If you are used to Terry towels, linen feels different, of course, but I reach for these towels first. I have also made a throw and kitchen towels. Would also make a great tote. Sturdy. This fabric is thicker than most linen and wrinkles (in a great way) - just know what you are getting, and you will be happy with it. I wash in warm or hot water and then throw in dryer.
So disappointed in this fabric. Horrible wrinkled after washing. Was going to make a slipcover but can't imagine ironing every time I would wash it. Too bad. Color is perfect for what I need.
I am sorry this did not work out for you. I will email you with some other linen suggestions to see if we can find a way to get your project back on track.
I love this fabric! I recovered a chair and its beautiful! I have 8 yards left to make some curtains,!
I concur with the other one-star review with the same title. Very disappointed with this canvas. :(
Hello, I'm sorry the Linen wasn't what you had in mind. For a smooth finish after washing, we recommend the following: A cool/warm water wash, and if you are machine drying, use a low setting. Before the linen is completely dry, give it an iron with high steam and hot iron. This will get the wrinkles out. After Linen is dry, it is very hard to iron. To get your linen looking this way, pop it in the wash again, and follow these instructions.
Made an amazing Linen & leather rustic tote bag.
I've been using linen for many years, so I understand that it wrinkles very badly when washed and dried. I'm prepared to deal with that. This stuff? It puckered, wrinkled, and scrunched up so badly that nothing I've done has been able to get the wrinkles out. Regular iron? Nope. Steam iron? Nope. Steam press? Sorta, but it's still heavily wrinkled, it's flat, but has so many wrinkles still. I wouldn't have washed it if I would have known it was going to respond so poorly to washing. It was lovely before washing, but it's unusable now.
Bought this to recover chairs in our screen porch, where it looks beautiful. But I was so pleased with how it looked after washing that I bought some more to make a pair of jeans, which are now my favorite pants. And I've had requests from family for three more pairs!
Bath towels and hand towels and I love them! I like towels with rough texture and these are super-absorbent. I made them very simply with fringed ends and folded sides.
This Linen has the perfect weight to makes my Jewelry roll finish beautiful.
This linen makes the best dish towels ever.
I also bought this to make an 18th century hunting shirt, two packs, and some haversacks. It is very strong for those applications. It would be suitable also for making oilcloth for a shelter, or even a tent. The natural color is excellent for the woods, and no additional dying is necessary, it being very similar to the color of deer. A test of walnut dye showed it also takes color well. I would not try to bleach this cloth into a lighter, whiter shade, for fear of reducing the strength of the fibers, and losing the usefulness of this weight fabric. IF you need a white linen, this is probably not for you, although in the sunlight it may lighten in color. The cloth arrives very stiff, and I washed mine in hot water to tighten the fabric just a tad for some of the items mentioned above. This linen retained much of it's stiffness after washing and line drying, but tumble drying the fabric via the dryer, and the linen fibers turned into a softer, supple cloth, good for a garment at that point. I am quite pleased with this and it should perform very well.
Good weight, good color. I bought this for a bench reupholstery project, very happy with the quality and color
I am currently making a caped fringed rifleman's frock. I have used other linen and this is by far the best especially for the price. After a pre-wash it softens unbelievably and hand sews like a dream. I have not run it through my machine yet but believe it will work extremely well. I will be purchasing more very soon.
Durable and modern. Love the weight.
