Black Lightweight Linen Seconds- $14.00 yd.

Black Lightweight Linen

Linen cloth, such as this Black Lightweight Linen, was woven of flax fiber in many grades and weaves. Used in every aspect of living, from clothing, to household needs, to furnishings, to the shroud made for the corpse, linen was so common that a tax was proposed as a source of easy revenue on the coarser sorts being imported into the US towards the end of the 18th century.

*This yardage is considered seconds due to a tiny hole surrounded by what looks like a bleach stain (pinprick size) every few yards. The price has been reduced to reflect this defect.
