Remnant Mustard Linen, WLG 131, 10″ long

100% Linen, 6.5 oz, 60″ Wide

Osage orange (for early 19th century reenactors), golden rod, chicory and several other plants will make an earthy yellow very similar to this linen. For example in The Pennsylvania Gazette of 1773, “Run away . . .  an Irish servant woman . . .  had on . . .  a yellow under petticoat, with red binding” is cited in Wives, Slaves, and Servant Girls. Light brown or beige 50/3 linen thread would blend with the color of this linen.
