I thought this was really a fantastic piece of fabric from the turn of the century in Irish linen and still with the original paper label in unused condition. I am always amazed at the wonderful antique and vintage items that still can be found today from long ago. Many still in pristine condition such as this piece of linen yardage.

A wonderful find from an old dressmaker shop, this incredible yardage is still tied with the original cord and still bears the original label ~ and what a beautiful label! It is 16 yard of incredible Irish linen in a dress weight so fashionable then as it would be today......
