Beautiful 100% counted thread linen imported from Europe (this is the same linen we used to call "Greek linen"*)! This high-quality counted thread linen comes in two colors and is an excellent fabric choice for heirloom quality folk embroidery as well as everyday pieces due to its durability and fine hand. The 30-count is a bit finer than the 26-count size of our Traditional Groundcloth, so designs specifying Traditional Groundcloth will work up 13% smaller on 30-count linen.
Colors:
Porcelain 30 count --a classic crisp, fresh white
Vanilla 30 count--a beautiful warm white shade, excellent when you want a bit more warmth than bright white (not as dark as ivory or ecru)
Recommended care: hand wash, lay flat to dry

*A note about the name: I imported this linen for several years from Greece so I called it "Greek linen," but I am now working directly with the European mill that produces it to secure a regular supply of this wonderful fabric. Because of this, I have renamed it "European linen" to reflect its provenance. It is the same linen that is many of my patterns and kits refer to as "Greek linen."
