Fascinating Swedish ticking fabric in brown and blue stripes and other red stripes that give it great visual warmth. This ticking fabric is very dense and soft at the same time. The cotton yarn finishes as well as the weave and colors make this a unique piece with a soft, shiny exterior and a plush interior. Originally the cover was stuffed with feathers, (there is still some left on the back).

ROSARIO SAYS: "In the antique Swedish bed linens we often find this mixture of brown, black or blue stripes, with some red stripes standing out. I love that color combination.”

MEASUREMENTS
I am selling this textile per piece - each:
65 cm wide × 3 meters long (26" × 3.3 yards)
I have 2 pieces just like this, for a total of 6 meters (~6.6 yards) combined. Glorious for larger projects.

WHY IT’S SOLD THIS WAY
These textiles come from old cover textiles, traditionally woven on narrow handlooms. To achieve the desired width, two long strips were often joined in the middle. We carefully unpick these pieces, preserving both selvedges intact, to offer them as individual lengths. This gives you flexibility to purchase fabric in manageable widths while preserving the authenticity and larger fabric quantity.

CONDITION
Excellent condition. Only light wear consistent with age and history. A few very pale marks. Made on a narrow loom. Normally indicative of the antiquity of the textile. Exceptional.
