I guess I will have to settle on the Linen/cotton blends and silk tends to
insulate and the camicias are for summer.

Hi De,
This thin linnen is not available today. I can tell that for sure.

How about using a thin silk in stead?

2007-07-22 Thread Jennifer Byrne
Thanks for the site, Saragrace.  Have you ordered from them and what do you
think of their linen?  I am always looking for good sources.  Also, what
sample cards did you order to get a range of what they offer?  Do you mean
all of the Home Collection, New Card and Artist Canvas collections?

I'm easily confused!

(Have a grand time in Belgium! - we were there and in the Netherlands last
fall and the art museums are fabulous.)

You may be thinking of The Linen House.

sample collection.
Their Napoli, Voile De Lin, Lille, Roma & Veneszia would all work for under
clothing.

I'd say the Napoli is the softest and finest, but I bet if you wrote and

I'll be there in September!  W! I wonder if they'd mind if I wrapped

Hi De,

That *might* be the cambric I found. It's at least as light as batiste, if 
not moreso. I can only get it wholesale and have to buy in bulk. In North 
America, I  get it from Ulster Linen. I believe they also have a parent 
company somewhere in the UK.

Ermine, a lion rampant tail nowed gules charged on the shoulder with a rose 
Or barbed, seeded, slipped and leaved vert

(Fieldless) On a rose Or barbed vert a lions head erased gules.

Once upon a time there was a discussion on batiste weight linen and a source

Could someone with the link please post it and post (if you remember) the

The discussion I remember began when Julian Wilson (Hi, Julian!) mentioned that 
he had bought some batiste to make banners with from a local supplier on (Old) 
Jersey. Lots of us got very excited. Upon investigation, however, it turned out 
to be cotton rather than linen, IIRC.
