Zina Are you looking at only linen, or are you also interested in fabrics made from other fibers? Silk and wool were used to make fabrics then as well as flax which is the plant linen is made from. You will often find more interesting fabrics at a shop that sells upholstery and drapery fabrics than at shops that sell clothing fabrics. I've seen some stunning medieval costumes made from drapery material. Just remember to check what fibers are used in the fabric before you buy it. In the US some drapery fabrics have fiberglass in them and that stuff is awful to your skin. Debra in VA |
