I'm about to place an order for handkerchief linen, but instead of
getting a weight I was given this: 1000,1200,1300,1400 count cambric

Many thanks, Aylwen Garden

Hi, I'm trying to sort out the differences between the following

Directoire, Empire, Regency, Romantic.
Have I got them in the right order and are they the right terms - or is
