Off White & Gold Striped Lightweight Linen
Linen cloth, such as this Off White & Gold Striped 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.
While we haven't found examples of linen woven with gold thread, the French were known for using gold threads in cottons. We may consider this inspired by the cotton and possibly part of our Time Travelers Collection.
