Re: [h-cost] Hello-new member
I learned at a recent workshop that linen can have the same sheen as satin if the treatment is done correctly. It takes ironing the wet fabric until it shines. Lines should not be placed in a dryer. It will remove the sheen. Air drying retains the shiney surface. Once it'sbeen put in a dryer that sheen is gone forever. That is why we have so many linen textiles in museums... no dryers bach then. Dry gets too hot. I'd suggest going to a second hand store, find a piece of linen fabric and test the ironing suggestion. I need to do that myself. I weave and that is one of the things I'll have to do next year. - Original Message - From: "otsisto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Historical Costume" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 5:26 PM Subject: RE: [h-cost] Hello-new member Some help http://www.npg.org.uk/live/search/portrait.asp?LinkID=mp54600&rNo=2&role=sit The best I can do in getting the portrait that Cornelius Ketel painted. http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0300083807/ref=sib_dp_pt/104-4894048-4326327 #reader-link If you copy this you will definitely want the shirt to be linen.
