Light Blue Stuff, WWV 650

1. 100% Wool, 60″ Wide

This twill weave Norwich good is strong, durable & a good weight for women’s riding habits, gowns, & petticoats, either men’s or women’s jackets, & men’s waistcoats, coats & breeches. For example advertised in The Pennsylvania Gazette of 1775, “Run away . . .  an Irish servant girl . . .  had on, when she went off, a light blue stuff gown.” Because this is such a light blue, off white 60/2 linen thread for hand sewing may work & for buttonholes light blue quilter’s thread is a good match.
