These textiles are, by nature, extremely Eco-friendly! The average age of these textiles is 100 years and they were naturally home grown, home retted (in local lakes and ponds) and woven by hand. These textiles are being re-cycled today and showing off the extreme craftsmanship of past generations! Yet another feature that makes these textiles extremely eco-friendly is their durability. These textiles were designed to endure generations of constant use and will have an extremely long life. The timeless beauty of this linen and their extraordinary quality make these textiles the perfect choice for any home and an environmentally friendly choice.


Hemp linen adds a bit of history and authentic vintage charm to whatever it touches!

They can be used to make pillows, bags, an apron, etc. Perfect for vintage French country or farmhouse decor.

The color will get lighter and prettier when they're washed. These kitchen towels become very absorbent after a few washes and dry quickly.
