A group of my friends got together and purchased yardage of this to try. Can't remember which rugs I hooked using this but after experimenting with various foundations chose Dorr natural to be my 'go to' linen.
My friend Shari's class used burlap as the foundation to achieve the lightweight and authentic ingredient for the antique look. I'm not in that class and prefer to use a stronger foundation, since I already have a little of the Belgian linen left will use that. For sure it will be more light weight than the Dorr natural primitive linen yet strong.
I purchased mine over a decade ago from Silkweeds of Searsport, Maine and have this small amount left. I'm not sure where you could purchase it now.
Will continue painting this afternoon after errands. Can't wait until all coats of paint have been applied and can call the task DONE.
