Regular linens have a "flat" look; in other words, they are one uniform color. "Vintage" linens have a more distressed look. Each piece is unique. Available in all standard line counts and colors EXCEPT Amethyst, Attic Lace, Black Forest, Green Slate, Sienna Night and Silver Fir.

Fabrics are available in quarters and halves. Approximate size of a quarter is 18 by 27; halves are approximately 27 by 36. I do NOT cut custom cut pieces, as the scraps are expensive waste. Occasionally, Lakeside Linens releases "custom cuts" for paricular pieces, and those are available to you as well. You can read about these on their web site at www.lakesidelinens.com.

Pricing:

28, 32 and 36 count (Zweigart base linen): $25.00/quarter; $50/half. 40 count (Zweigart base): $27/quarter; $54/half. Minimum purchase of any hand-dyed linen is 1/4 yard.

Double-Dye Line Pricing (Amethyst, Autumn Gold, Autumn Red, Black Forest, Charcoal, Green Slate, Midnight, Renaissance Red, Sienna Night) 28, 32, and 36 count $35.00/quarter; $70/half. 40 count $37.00/quarter; $74/half. (These colors are more costly, because they are dyed twice, to produce a deep, rich color and shading.)
