~ Hello and welcome to The Textile Trunk! ~ Please follow us on Instagram @textiletrunk ~

Here's some quick information about the features of this wonderful grain sack:

STRIPE COLOR(S) : Indigo and red stripes. SUCH a unique striping pattern!

MEASUREMENTS: 20 inches wide by 64 inches long (it's double sided, so if using for cutting there are 2 panels that measure this!)

CIRCA AGE: 1900

TONE: warm creamy natural tone!

TEXTURE: Floppy and wobbly! Nubby and SO SOFT!

CONDITION: This sack was recently laundered and is ready to use! They wash beautifully - you can machine wash and tumble dry over and over again! Other than a few small pulls in the weave which are typical, this sack is truly in GORGEOUS condition with very few flaws!

GENERAL GRAIN SACK INFORMATION: Grain sacks were hand-woven and used for storing grains! The stripe on the grain sack indicated which family farm it belonged to and ensured that the miller returned the sack to its rightful owner. These sacks were meant to stand the test of time! They are 100% machine washable, over and over and over. These durable textiles are ideal for upholstery projects, pillow cover, bath mats, table runners, dog beds, curtains, lampshades, and even outdoor use (hemp is naturally mold and mildew resistant). I love knowing that by virtue of their age, shops these textiles were grown without the use of pesticides. Wonderful organic fabric for natural living!
