Homespun Blankets


"Homespun" Blankets

"Home-Spun"--Today, a very broad term widely misused. Orignally meaning an undyed woolen yarn spun at home and woven at home. Yarn is coarse, rugged, and uneven; woven as a plain weave only. Most often woven as a solid, stripe or simple check used by peasants and country folk.- Fairchild's Dictionary of Textiles & Encyclopedia of Textiles

Family Heirloom Weavers reproduces all items as close as possible to the originals.
This means the blankets and coverlets are seamed together. Most items vary in degrees of color which is consistent with the time period and use of vegetable, nut, plant and bugs.

                                               Introducing
                                    New summer weight sheets!!!!!!
                             Since sheets from this time period are white,
                              we decided to reproduce ours from the
                           mattress and pillow tickings as this appeals more
                             to the 21st C home owner/decorator.  Stripes
                              are vertical and colors coordinate with our
                             linen background bedding line.  Sizes available
                             will be queen and twin.  Sheets will be offered
                            individually or as a 4 piece set: bottom flat sheet,
                                              (bottom sheet is tuck in)
                           top sheet, 2 pillow cases.  All four pieces are stamped
                             with initials and laundry rotation number.  
                                    Cotton/acrylic, mach wash: cold, dry: med,
                                      stamp is good thru approx 40 washes.

photo is the original white pillow slip
circa early 1800s with monogram
and laundry rotation number hand
done with ink and quill that was our
inspiration for the new sheeting
stamp.
