I had found a super bargain of both cotton and linen and felt so rich I decided to weave tablecloths again. Total ends 2200. This first one matches the china I have inherited from my grandparents.
The original draft was for 12 S/T but as I only have 10 I reduced it from 2 blocks of 3/1 twill and one of plain weave to two 2/1 twills and a basket weave block. I am still satisfied with the result :-)
It was a happy thrill to again find these beautiful tablecloths! I hope you're quite pleased with yourself for such an accomplishment! These are truly heirloom pieces!
Everything you do is so beautiful. The colors and pattern combination make this a suitable tablecloth for very formal occasions, or everyday use. I always look forward to your postings, and this is no exception.
As always, beautifully done Ellen! Do you mind sharing the % of shrinkage?

That is a lovely comment to get, thank you very much!
Thank you, Dawn.
It shrank only a few cm in width and 25 cm in a length of 250 cm i length. I hope this helps you :-)

That is such a nice thing to hear, Mary,- and it always makes me wonder why people say that!
