Hi De,
This thin linnen is not available today. I can tell that for sure.
How about using a thin silk in stead?

You may be thinking of The Linen House.
http://thelinenhouse.com/http://thelinenhouse.com/ I have their complete
sample collection.
Their Napoli, Voile De Lin, Lille, Roma Veneszia would all work for under
clothing.
I'd say the Napoli is the softest
I guess I will have to settle on the Linen/cotton blends and silk tends to
insulate and the camicias are for summer.

Hmmm..I remember that at the end of the past discuss someone produced a
website so perhaps this woman is not the one I was thinking of. Please hold
off on the email address. I guess what I am going to have to do is do a
major search through the archives and see if I can find the retailer. If

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
expensive, no bargains here, you have to pay for it!
I have 3 meters waiting for a new shirt with cotton lace trimmings.

Ohhh... are you talking about the bishop's lawm or lawn? That's similar to
batiste. Lawm, cambric, voile, nainsook, organdy and batiste are all
*generally* in the same category. Some apply more often to cottons, others to
linens, sometimes both. The industry is quite fickle in that regard. I

Once upon a time there was a discussion on batiste weight linen and a source
was posted. I thought I saved the URL but I can't find it in my link files.
Could someone with the link please post it and post (if you remember) the
name of that type of linen as I know it isn't batiste.
but there was further discussion and a name of the sheer linen (it was not
called batiste)was said and a site that sold it for roughly $25 a yard was
found.
