I'm trying to find a non-white canvas substitute for the old french blue (and would love to go even paler). I'm sure that you are aware of the overdyed congress cloth, but I just found a listing for it online. I don't think that they have anything that will work for me, but "maybe" one or two are pale enough for you? I bet not, but thought it was an interesting group of canvas. Some of them are eye opening. Oh my....<br /><br />http://needleworkersdelight.com/NeedlepointCanvas.html<br /><br />Good luck and maybe if we all complain, they will finally do something.<br />BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14742828839268857661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31143398.post-68886237646485386852011-06-02T20:08:21.528-07:002011-06-02T20:08:21.528-07:00I just found your comment -- thank you for writing...I just found your comment -- thank you for writing!<br /><br />I am so glad I wrote this post because several ideas have come to light. Hopefully one will work and I will have a beautiful ground to work on.<br /><br />Congress cloth isn't linen, it's cotton and it is much like needlepoint canvas; it is just finer than most needlepoint canvases and would I ever love it if it were available in some of the beautiful colors that linen comes in.<br /><br />We'll see!<br />Gay AnnGay Ann Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17540143403309874089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31143398.post-42623767031896724612011-05-31T09:24:23.865-07:002011-05-31T09:24:23.865-07:00Hi Gay Ann,
Thankyou for your comments on the Zwe...Hi Gay Ann,<br /><br />Thankyou for your comments on the Zweigart Congress Linen.<br /><br />It's the 'level' (quality) of linen I'd be interested in, but an ecru that is too dark? Not good - like you say, you want a 'washed' colour in a ground for many historical projects. <br />Screaming white just makes it all look so *new* even if it does provide great contrast to the colour.MeganHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842743721181682681noreply@blogger.com
