Cloth Hall

Hello! Looks like I am making a trip to Ottawa this weekend. I can deliver fabric!

Linen has arrived! A big box of cool white loveliness!
My geeky little heart pulled out all of my technical stuff, including a recently acquired wifi microscope.
First impressions:
Sheeting is a little rougher, tight but not super tight weave. I think it'll keep more of it's body by virtue of the heavier yarn it's woven with. I think it will soften, but should still be outer layer wear.
The coloured stripes will make a sweet shirt or skirt! It's smoother than the 260 cm, slightly finer yarn, higher weave. I think it will hold it's body after washing so structured clothing will work.
The patterned damask is softer even without washing. The pattern is very subtle at this size. At a guess, it looks to be fruit and stems with leaves. It may appear more complete once seen in its full width. This would make cozy clothing.
Damask stripes are really nice. This will soften nicely as well, the satin weave is dense with a loose weave across the transition line.

I have stitched 2 inch squares on everything and will toss everything in for a good hot wash and see what shrinkage looks like and how much the damask weaves pop.

Hopefully the photos tell you everything you need. Well, except price. Price is still dependent on how I am bringing it in, but assuming all will be equal, it'll be in line with my usual prices.

I have a possible lead on woven stripes, off white/white sheeting weight linen for a very decent price. Would anyone be interested?
Same lead also has queen sheet width white linen, a monster 260 cm wide. I have ordered this for myself to test the quality. Assuming it meets my expectations, anyone interested in this as well? Sheeting weight would make lovely, durable, outer tunics, pelisses or dresses, even a sturdy gentleman's coat and trousers. And being white, it need not stay white if you want another colour.

A note to those that have their names on the silk-
I wrecked my knee not long after and I haven't been able to get it cut. I've been stuck in bed and working from home for my day job. It really sucks, I've had to back out of two selling dates because of this.
I have everyone's names and yardage written out, as soon as I can stand ill get it cut and message you for payment.

So i seriously upped my ironing game. I scored a Reliable self heating and vacuum ironing board that is brand new $900. Yes, 900 for an ironing board. It almost does the ironing for you. I nabbed it for 170. Eeeeee!
That means i have a longer but narrower board available. I bought the long one new this year, but will need a cover and pad. Easy enough to make one but this is a standard size so shouldn't be hard to get.

Anyone want it?

In case anyone has been trying.
