A very beautiful handspun and handwoven sheet, very textured but soft, and in a lovely soft oatmeal colour with striations of darker threads creating the illusion of stripes in the weave. This has been made, like all of these sheets, from two handspun panels the width of a loom, handstitched together to make a larger sheet. It has a large set of initials SC in one corner, and handstitched hems. This is peasant textile, it would most likely have been made by the same farmhouse that grew the hemp, although the weaving could have been done by seasonal itinerant weavers. It is in perfect condition, it has been lightly used and the wrong side is slightly darker in colour than the top side. It measures 196×277cm.
These sheets make beautiful throws, or pair them up with a fine linen sheet and use them as a light breathable blanket during the summer months
This sheet is sold on the understanding that it is not cut up or dyed. I sometimes sell used pieces of hemp on my sale instagram account @lagrossetoiledeux - but pieces of this quality deserve to remain intact as a testimony to the huge amount of generational skill and labour that would have gone into making them.
Please click on the photos to open them up full-sized.
