These linens are beautiful. Simply. Beautiful. Hand-dyed in Hungary, they are perfect for samplers and prim stitching. It's a nice Zweigart-based linen, and there are subtle variations in color that make it look...well, old-ish. The edges are even serged (on the full yard -- if you buy less than a yard, some edges will not be serged). Purchase one to get a fat quarter -- approximately 28 1/2 by 18. This fabric is available in fat halves -- buy TWO to get a fat half (28 1/2 by 36, approximately).
