This is a rare piece of beautifully soft, home loomed hemp, two panels hand crotcheted together. Probably about 100 years old. There has been some colour run of blue, (see photos) but actually it doesn't detract from the piece. This is lovely as a throw, table cover.

All our vintage linen and hemp  has been home loomed,  much also home grown and home spun, all in all a very time consuming process and one which is no longer widely practised. Home loomed fabric has a very special, there may be some uneveness in the weave , which adds greatly to the character of these pieces.  Many of these pieces  have been stored for many many years and are unused.

All parna pieces are washed and ironed before despatch

Each piece comes with a card detailing origin,hand crafted method and care instructions

price: £120.00
