To create this worn, vintage look the fabric is cut into lengths and literally washed with stones. This creates the mottled uneven colour we love. The occasional faded streak is acceptable and adds to the vintage finish. Selvedges may become frayed after stonewashing. Stonewashed fabric is wonderfully soft and drapes beautifully as curtains but it may have quite a bit of 'stretch' which could make it unsuitable for blinds in some circumstances.

The natural linen background will fade a little over time, particularly in sunlight.

Please check that you are happy with your fabric before cutting or altering it in any way. If it is going direct to a third party please ensure they have full details or samples to enable them to check. We cannot accept responsibility for the fabric once it has been cut.
