Have you seen the gorgeous European linen from
Thea & Sami?
Thea now stocks three types of linen, each one very different to the other, I blogged
Versaille natural unbleached linen previously
here. Now it's time for a little bit about Thea's new stock
Provincial and
Petersburg (don't you just love the names).
Petersburg (above) is probably the sturdiest of the three but still has a lovely soft feel to it. Perfect for all types of crafts and definitely a winner for homewares. I love that the weave is tighter than some linen, making it perfect for embroidery. The combination of texture and shades of natural colour will make Petersburg perfect for my embroidery
series on fish, more of which are coming soon.
Provincial, in my opinion, is a rare find. The colour is stunning and it's incredibly soft. When Thea first sent me a swatch of this one it was like stumbling across a delicate piece of fabric from a bygone era (ok, maybe I get a little over excited about these things). While it is more delicate than Petersburg it's as sturdy as any linen making it perfect for crafts, homewares and the weave is tight enough to create a detailed embroidery.
The highlight of Petersburg and Provincial is that they're both pre-shrunk!
Head to
