100% Linen, 56" wide 3.5 oz.
This fabric is a light weight linen that would make a cool summer gown, petticoat or jacket. For example in The Pennsylvania Packet of 1778, "Ran Away, a Scotch servant Girl . . . had on and took with her . . . a striped linen short gown, a light coloured ditto". Ditto means the same as. This is cited in Wenches, Wives and Servant Girls. Beige 80/3 linen thread would be the closest match to this linen.
