Mixed Pale Green Lightweight Linen
Linen cloth, like our Mixed Pale Green 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.
In the 18th century, the term "mixt" described fabrics that were woven with a mixture of colors such as one colored warp and a differently colored weft. They could also include more than two colors.
