Hand-Painted Specialty Fabrics

Check out our beautiful new hand-painted 28-count linen fabrics. Our goal is to create a unique fabric on which to stitch that special project--by hand painting with fabric dye rather than immersion in a dye bath.

Each piece is washed in a special detergent to remove sizing, soaked in an activator to help the fabric better take the dye, then laid out flat and painted, carefully blending several colors to achieve a subtle mottling. It then cures for 24 to 48 hours, after which it is washed several times in hot water and detergent to remove excess dye, making it color-fast. After drying and pressing, it is ready for your needle and thread--and your imagination!

We have five shades available: Deep Sea, Storm, Earth, Sky, and Woodland, with more to come! (Click any of the images to see a larger view.)
