Item Description
I'm always so pleased when I come across sets of matching sheets so to find this run of six all the same was great. These are unused vintage French metis sheets, bought 70 or so years ago but stored ever since.
The linen is particularly nice, it has little slubs running through it giving interest to the weave which will make them great to use for curtain or upholstery projects. If you need a good load for something, grab them now!
These are sold per piece. I currently have six sheets.
These are all totally unused, unbleached, never laundered "dead stock" pieces which will need a soak and a few washes to fully soften up but will give you masses of excellent quality fabric for your bed or your projects. Colour is a sandy cream which will lighten with washing to a pale oatmeal/off white. Don't worry, I will send washing instructions with purchase.
Linen metis is a linen weft and cotton warp and has been very popular with French housewives down the generations. Less expensive than pure linen and a little easier to manage but still smooth cool and long lasting. The fabric is medium weight and tightly woven, with a good "lineny" feel. Great fabric for upholstery projects or curtains, blinds etc. (I have many in stock if you need more, but they are not identical.)
Should be soaked and washed before use. No damage or wear, some marks as you would expect along the fold lines but generally well stored. One sheet has more grubby and storage marks on the outside fold. All the marks should be dealt with during the soaking and washing process.
