...is what they look like to me. The loss of color will probably delight a lot of people. Me...not so much. But here they are. You can see closeups
with and
without the flash.
Although a lot of people prefer to use cloth in it's natural state, I especially like to iron the damasks when the dye process is finished. You can see by
this detail that the huge tablecloth I stumbled over was probably created to be a souvenir for a tourist visiting the "auld sod". One could only hope that it was actually manufactured in Ireland!
The rest of the lightweight cottons will have to wait, in fact, I'll have to rewash them. SOMETHING went Lint Wacko in the washer and 99% of it gravitated to the pieces below. I will NOT be sitting over these with a roll of scotch tape today.
I've taken out the few that I'm keeping and everything else will be made available in
the store over the next few days.
